AEPD creates guide for cryptographic systems

Spain's data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, published a guide for cryptographic systems as a data protection security measure in partnership with the Spanish Association for the Promotion of Information Security and Spanish Professional Association for Privacy. The guide states "encryption will be an adequate security measure for data protection as long as its implementation is adjusted to the characteristics and impact of the treatment on the rights and freedoms of those affected."
