CWE-1279 Cryptographic Operations are Run Before Supporting Units are Ready

Performing cryptographic operations without ensuring that the supporting inputs are ready to supply valid data may compromise the cryptographic result.

• Access Control, Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Accountability, Authentication, Authorization, Non-Repudiation: Varies by Context

• [Architecture and Design] Best practices should be used to design cryptographic systems. If a cryptographic unit retrieves a private encryption key from a fuse unit, the fuse unit must be up and running before a key may be supplied. • [Implementation] Continuously ensuring that cryptographic inputs are supplying valid information is necessary to ensure that the encrypted output is secure.
