Definition: Architecture Decision Record from where you should specialise the ADR SBBs regarding the Encryption Standards Source: ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022 Source reference: https://www.iso.org/standard/74393.html Additional information: Encryption standards refer to the set of protocols and algorithms used to secure data and information. These standards ensure that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access, theft, or manipulation. The choice of encryption standards is critical in IT architecture decisions as it determines the level of security and protection that the system can provide. The most used encryption standards include AES, RSA, and SHA, among others. The selection of encryption standards depends on the specific needs of the organization, the type of data being protected, and the level of security required. The implementation of encryption standards requires careful planning and management to ensure that the system is secure and effective. Example: Encryption Standards: Decision: Using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a key length of 256 bits for data encryption at rest. Rationale: AES-256 is a widely accepted and secure encryption algorithm, providing strong protection for sensitive data stored on disk or in databases.

It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons. eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how. eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)] eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
