Abstract

In a general aspect, risks associated with cryptography usage in network communication between computing nodes are identified. In some aspects, a network packet capture agent obtains cryptography usage data by examining network traffic communicated by computing nodes in the computing environment. A cryptography usage analysis agent identifies cryptography usage risks based on the cryptography usage data. A cryptographic risk identification agent identifies one or more applications associated with the cryptography usage risks.
