Use cases
ENCALG is a lookup entity referenced by ITENCTYPE via the algorithm objectLookup field. Separating algorithm from encryption type allows the same algorithm (e.g. AES-256) to be used across multiple encryption types (full disk, file, database). The algorithmType field classifies by cryptographic approach (Symmetric, Asymmetric, Hash, Key Exchange, Hybrid). standardsCompliance captures which regulatory/industry standards recognise or require the algorithm. The deprecated flag allows retiring outdated algorithms while preserving audit history on existing ITENCTYPE records.
