Cryptography inventory

Metadata about cryptography, never key material

Almost nobody can currently answer which cryptographic algorithms an organisation uses where. Four sources demand that answer: BSI C5 (CRY-01), the Cyber Resilience Act (Annex I Part I (2)(e)), ISO 27001 A.8.24 and DORA Regulation (EU) 2024/1774, Articles 6 and 7. The trigger is therefore not the year 2030 but a catalogue being audited today. The module keeps this register with algorithm, parameter set, length, mode of operation, purpose, location, key custodian and origin, and it keeps metadata only: key material is never held here.

Features

Your benefits

1

"Not assessable" is a state of its own

The assessment knows four levels, not three. Missing particulars are not counted as compliant and not blended into an amber. An algorithm with no known key length is not a green entry.

2

No key material, enforced in code

The module holds metadata about cryptography and never keys themselves. That is not merely a promise: a guard test fails as soon as a column or a writable field sounds like key material.

3

Assessed against the catalogues, not against a hunch

Which algorithms are being phased out or are impermissible follows BSI TR-02102 and CNSA 2.0. Every entry therefore carries not just a colour but a reference.

Capabilities

All capabilities at a glance

  • Register of algorithms with parameter set, key length, mode of operation and padding
  • Location per entry, linked to the object rather than typed in free text
  • Key custodian, purpose, protection needs and the origin of the entry
  • Four-level assessment against BSI TR-02102 and CNSA 2.0
  • Traffic-light filter in the list, a cockpit and three dashboard tiles
  • Entry form with helper text on every field
  • Permissions closed by default: the register collects the weakest points in one place
  • Mapped to BSI C5 CRY-01, CRA Annex I, ISO 27001 A.8.24 and DORA
Result

An answer to the question that comes up in audits and that no organisation currently has in a list: which algorithms do we use where.
