Overview:
This release focuses on improving the overall system security by integrating a full-featured Security Module. This module provides critical cryptographic functionality, ensuring that data can be securely encrypted, hashed, and signed.
Key Features:
- AES/RSA Encryption Support: Allows secure encryption and decryption of sensitive data using industry-standard algorithms.
- Hashing Capabilities: Supports hashing via SHA-256 and SHA-512 for data integrity verification.
- Digital Signature Verification: Ensures message authenticity through RSA-based digital signature creation and verification.
Enhancements:
- The Security Module has been fully modularized and can be easily integrated into other parts of the system for added security.
- Improved the scalability of the system by making the security module more accessible and decoupled from other system components.
Known Limitations:
- May introduce performance overhead for encryption operations on lower-end systems.
- Key management enhancements needed in future releases for broader support of encryption standards.
