ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your team is deciding whether to publish the source code of an internally developed cryptographic module on a public repository. According to the open design principle, which security benefit is most likely to result from taking this approach?

  • Public availability automatically satisfies all cryptographic export-control regulations, simplifying compliance.

  • A larger security community can independently audit the code, uncover vulnerabilities early, and strengthen the module before wide deployment.

  • Making the source publicly available eliminates the need for periodic penetration tests on the module.

  • Publishing makes the algorithm details obscure to attackers, thereby reducing the attack surface.
