ePrint Report: Software-Defined Cryptography: A Design Feature of Cryptographic Agility

Jihoon Cho, Changhoon Lee, Eunkyung Kim, Jieun Lee, Beumjin Cho

Cryptographic agility, or crypto-agility, is a design feature that enables agile updates to new cryptographic algorithms and standards without the need to modify or replace the surrounding infrastructure. This paper examines the prerequisites for crypto-agility and proposes its desired design feature. More specifically, we investigate the design characteristics of widely deployed cybersecurity paradigms, i.e., zero trust, and apply its design …
