Crypto Analyzer Skill

Purpose

Analyze and validate cryptographic implementations to ensure proper algorithm usage, key sizes, certificate validity, and compliance with cryptographic best practices and standards.

Capabilities

Encryption Implementation Analysis

• Analyze symmetric encryption usage (AES, ChaCha20)
• Review asymmetric encryption implementations (RSA, ECDSA)
• Check encryption mode selection (GCM, CBC, CTR)
• Validate initialization vector (IV) handling
• Verify padding schemes
• Identify insecure encryption patterns

Algorithm Strength Validation

• Check algorithm deprecation status
• Validate against NIST recommendations
• Compare with FIPS 140-3 requirements
• Assess quantum resistance readiness
• Flag weak or deprecated algorithms
• Recommend algorithm upgrades

Key Size Verification

• Validate RSA key lengths (minimum 2048-bit)
• Check ECC curve selections
• Verify symmetric key sizes
• Assess key derivation functions
• Check PBKDF2/​scrypt/​bcrypt parameters
• Validate key stretching implementations

Deprecated Algorithm Detection

• Identify MD5 and SHA-1 usage
• Flag DES and 3DES usage
• Detect RC4 stream cipher
• Find weak random number generation
• Identify export-grade cryptography
• Flag custom/​homegrown crypto

Certificate Analysis

• Verify certificate validity periods
• Check certificate chain completeness
• Validate certificate key usage
• Detect wildcard certificate risks
• Check certificate transparency logs
• Monitor certificate expiration

Cryptographic Recommendations

• Suggest algorithm replacements
• Recommend key size upgrades
• Provide implementation guidance
• Map to compliance requirements
• Generate migration plans
• Prioritize remediation efforts
