Use cases
ITENCTYPE defines encryption type classifications referenced by ITASSET and other security-related entities. The encryptionCategory field categorises by scope: Full Disk Encryption, File/Folder Encryption, Database Encryption, Network/Transport Encryption, Application Encryption, Hardware Encryption, or No Encryption. The algorithm field links to ENCALG for the specific cryptographic algorithm (e.g., AES-256, RSA), while keyLength captures the key size.
