ITU-T X.805 - Security Architecture for End-to-End Communications X805-Dim4-5-Data-Confidentiality-Communication-Security-Encryption-Information-Flow-Protection: ITU-T X.805 Security Dimensions 4-5 - Data Confidentiality + Communication Security + Encryption At-Rest + In-Transit + In-Use + Information Flow Protection + Steered Communication + Anti-Tap + Anti-Eavesdrop + Post-Quantum Cryptography

Security Dimensions 4 and 5 per X.805 Clauses 6.4 and 6.5 are closely related: (1) Data Confidentiality (Dim 4) protects data from unauthorized disclosure - so that anyone without authorization is unable to make sense of the content. Encryption + Access Control + File Permissions + Communication Path Protection all contribute. (2) Communication Security (Dim 5) makes sure information travels solely between endpoints that are authorized, without being rerouted or intercepted on the way - protects the information path itself + including against masquerade of endpoints. The two Dimensions together cover all aspects of information secrecy from data-at-rest through communication-in-transit. (1) Encryption Categories: (a) Symmetric Encryption (block + stream) - AES-128/192/256 + ChaCha20 + 3DES (legacy + deprecated for new); (b) Asymmetric Encryption (RSA-2048/3072/4096 + ECDH + ECIES + X25519); (c) Hybrid Encryption (TLS + IPSec combine asymmetric for key exchange + symmetric for data); (d) Homomorphic Encryption (FHE + PHE - emerging for cloud computation on encrypted data); (e) Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE - retains format for PCI cardholder data); (f) Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE); (g) Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) - CRYSTALS-Kyber + Falcon + Dilithium + SPHINCS+ + Classic McEliece + BIKE + HQC + FrodoKEM per NIST PQC standardisation.
