Systems and methods for disaggregated cryptographic software architecture

A device comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• scan a network for information related to a network function (NF);
• collect, based on the scanning, cryptography configuration information for the NF;
• determine, based on the collected cryptography configuration information, a cryptography status report, the cryptography status report comprising a determined cryptography state for the NF;
• store, in a database, the cryptography status report;
• receive, in relation to the NF, a request for the NF to perform an operation;
• mine the database, and based on information from the cryptography status report stored in the database, determine a type of cryptography algorithm for the NF and the operation;
• and
• cause execution of a cryptography algorithm of the determined type.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:

• scanning a network for information related to a network function (NF);
• collecting, based on the scanning, cryptography configuration information for the NF;
• determining, based on the collected cryptography configuration information, a cryptography status report, the cryptography status report comprising a determined cryptography state for the NF;
• storing, in a database, the cryptography status report;
• receiving, in relation to the NF, a request for the NF to perform an operation;
• mining the database, and based on information from the cryptography status report stored in the database, determining a type of cryptography algorithm for the NF and the operation;
• and
• causing execution of a cryptography algorithm of the determined type.
