Abstract
Technical solutions are described for securing data by a communication apparatus. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by an encryption engine, a request to apply cryptography to input data. The computer-implemented method also includes generating metadata for the input data, where the metadata identifies characteristics of content included in the input data. The method further includes applying a cryptographic technique to the input data to generate output data, and outputting the output data and metadata in response to the request.
