What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps ensure that cryptographic implementations are secure by reviewing algorithm choices, key management practices, and resistance to common attacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Algorithm Validation: Checks if chosen algorithms (like AES, RSA) are current, secure, and correctly implemented (e.g., using AEAD modes).
• Key Management Assessment: Reviews the entire lifecycle of cryptographic keys, from generation to secure destruction.
• Side-Channel Resistance: Evaluates implementations for vulnerabilities to timing attacks or other side-channel exploits.
• Crypto Agility: Assesses the system's readiness to adapt to future cryptographic standards (like post-quantum cryptography).
• Use Case: A developer has implemented encryption for sensitive user data and needs to verify that the chosen methods are robust against known attacks and future-proofing.

Quick Start

Review the cryptographic implementation for the 'user-auth-service' component.
