Abstract

The disclosure provides an approach for cryptographic agility. Embodiments include establishing, by a proxy component associated with a cryptographic agility system, a first secure connection with an application. Embodiments include receiving, by the proxy component, via the first secure connection, a communication from the application directed to an endpoint. Embodiments include selecting, by the cryptographic agility system, a cryptographic technique based on contextual information related to the communication. Embodiments include establishing, by the proxy component, a second secure connection with the endpoint based on the cryptographic technique. Embodiments include transmitting, by the proxy component, a secure communication to the endpoint via the second secure connection based on the communication.
