Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided that can inform certain processes and/or even the user about the relative strength/weakness of cryptography services being used. In certain methods, for example, at least one cryptography service parameter threshold is established. The method further includes, selectively detecting a request for at least one cryptography service, and selectively performing at least one correctness detection action based on the requested cryptography service and the cryptography service parameter threshold. The cryptography service parameter threshold identifies acceptable/unacceptable cryptography algorithms, acceptable/unacceptable cryptography key size parameters, acceptable/unacceptable cryptography seed size parameters, and other like parameters that the requested cryptography service information can be compared with.
