Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) White Paper

Concluding Remarks

Concluding Remarks

CDSA is a powerful, flexible modular infrastructre for safeguarding information. However, as with all things powerful, CDSA requires extensive knowledge to take full advantage of its capabilities. Currently, application developers may need expertise in both cryptography and the details of Internet security protocols (SSL, S/MIME, etc). CDSA, in conjunction with higher-level protocols, provides a solid, interoperable framework on which to develop secure applications.
