Cryptography provides security mechanisms that are based on algorithmic methods and not on policy enforcement. For questions on cryptographic mechanisms and their application the Cryptography SE resp. the Information Security SE are most likely more appropriate. Don't use this tag if your question is about software that uses cryptographic mechanisms but not about cryptography itself.
