SERVICES
Cryptography Testing
Expose weaknesses in cryptographic algorithms, encryption, and key management that put sensitive data, communications, and systems at risk.
Cryptography Security Assurance
OnDefend cryptography & post quantum assessments evaluates how cryptographic algorithms, encryption, and key management are implemented, validated, and enforced across your environment. We identify weaknesses in cryptographic controls, validate real-world exploitability, and uncover hidden risks that could lead to data exposure, unauthorized access, or regulatory non-compliance across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and NIST.
We validate not only how cryptography is configured, but whether the underlying algorithms and implementations maintain their intended security properties under real-world attack conditions..
TALK TO AN ONDEFENDER
Cryptography Environments Tested for Real-World Risk
Network and Transport Encryption
Assessment of TLS/SSL configurations, certificate management, cipher suites, and secure communication protocols to ensure data in transit is protected against interception, downgrade attacks, and misconfiguration.
APIs and Token-Based Systems
Assessment of cryptographic protections within APIs, including JWT handling, token signing, encryption mechanisms, and validation logic to prevent tampering or unauthorized access.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness
Evaluation of environments for quantum-vulnerable algorithms and validation of hybrid PQC implementations, crypto-agility gaps, and exposure to harvest-now, decrypt-later risks.
Key Management and Cryptographic Usage
Validation of key generation, storage, rotation, and access controls, as well as how keys are used across systems, services, and trust relationships.
AI-powered adversaries don’t exploit vulnerabilities.
They exploit attack paths.
AI-powered adversaries exploit more than vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. They chain together hidden risks like exploitable designs, security control failures, and novel attack techniques to reach critical assets. The goal is no longer finding every weakness, but breaking attack paths with the fewest high-impact fixes.

Cryptography Testing FAQs
What is cryptography testing?
A security assessment that evaluates whether cryptographic algorithms, implementations, and key management effectively protect sensitive data from real-world attacks.
How is this different from a configuration review?
Configuration reviews check settings. Cryptography testing validates whether encryption can be bypassed, broken, or abused.
What are common cryptographic vulnerabilities?
Weak algorithms, improper implementation, broken TLS, poor key management, weak hashing, and flawed cryptographic logic.
Does this include algorithm-level validation?
Yes. We test whether cryptographic algorithms and implementations maintain their intended security guarantees under real-world conditions.
Why is post-quantum cryptography important?
Data encrypted today may be decrypted in the future. Organizations must understand exposure and prepare for transition.
How often should cryptography testing be performed?
Organizations should test at least annually and after any major changes, including new services, applications, encryption mechanisms, key management systems, or security architecture updates.
