V6 Cryptography at Rest
OWASP ASVS OWASPASVS-6: Stored Cryptography (V6) Per OWASP ASVS V6: implement secure stored cryptography. Requirements include (a) classify data + apply appropriate cryptographic protection per classification + (b) use industry-vetted algorithms + key sizes + modes + libraries (AES-GCM + ChaCha20-Poly1305 + Argon2 + similar approved choices) + (c) implement key management lifecycle including generation + storage + rotation + revocation + destruction + (d) use HSM or cloud key management service for high-assurance scenarios + (e) protect cryptographic material in memory + during processing + (f) maintain crypto-agility to migrate algorithms when broken + (g) audit cryptographic operations.
Maintained by Gerard Blokdyk · Verified against the published standard 31 May 2026 · Control text last updated 21 May 2026 What else in your programme already covers this This control maps to 97 controls across 79 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
