Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Many cryptographic recommendations and examples focus on Windows-specific APIs (CNG, CAPI, Win32/64, .NET), and Microsoft technologies (SQL Server, SSIS, BitLocker, TPM on Windows IoT Core). Windows tools and patterns are mentioned first or exclusively, with limited or no Linux equivalents, especially in code samples and references. Linux/macOS alternatives are only briefly mentioned in the random number generator section, and there are no Linux-specific code examples or guidance for equivalent tasks (e.g., disk encryption, TPM usage, database encryption).
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for cryptographic APIs and tools (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG, dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption, Linux TPM tools).
- Include code samples for Linux and macOS platforms, especially for IoT device key storage, random number generation, and database encryption.
- Mention cross-platform libraries (e.g., libsodium, OpenSSL) and how to use them in .NET Core or other languages on non-Windows platforms.
- Reference Linux/macOS documentation for features like disk encryption, TPM provisioning, and secure key storage.
- Avoid listing Windows tools/APIs first; present cross-platform options or group them by OS.
