Use pre-existent mechanisms
Summary
The systems cryptographic functions must be implemented with pre-existing and up-to-date cryptographic mechanisms.
Description
The systems cryptographic functions are essential for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of transactions and communications. Therefore, these functions must be based on pre-existent, tested, approved and secure mechanisms.
