The Government-Wide Cryptography Policy Framework is designed to assist organisations in developing effective cryptography policies. This framework enables agencies to prepare for potential threats in advance and implement the necessary measures.
Government-Wide Cryptography Policy Framework
The policy framework outlines the general issues related to cryptography policy within the Central Government. It is meant to provide relevant frameworks for central government agencies that will lead the procedures, architecture and design principles regarding cryptography.
This new policy framework is mandatory for the Central Government. However, it can also serve as a guideline for other government organisations that wish to establish or update their cryptography policies. The framework provides a comprehensive overview of cryptography policy and outlines the technical aspects of cryptography that require decision-making.

Cryptography
Cryptography is used to achieve various information security objectives, such as confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, non-repudiation and authentication. It encompasses techniques such as encryption, digital signatures, cryptographic key management, and the use and control of certificates.
