Cryptographic Protocol Isolation

Principle

Cryptographic protocol isolation operates on the principle of segmenting and securing distinct cryptographic processes within a larger system to limit the impact of a compromise. This involves creating independent execution environments for different cryptographic operations, such as key generation, signing, and encryption. The goal is to prevent a vulnerability in one protocol from cascading to others. It enforces a strong separation of concerns in cryptographic design. This enhances the overall security posture.
