Compliance Node Overview
MITRE ATT&CK T1521.001 (Symmetric Cryptography) is an ATT&CK for Mobile Command and Control sub-technique of T1521 (Encrypted Channel). Adversaries may employ a known symmetric encryption algorithm to conceal command and control traffic, rather than relying on any inherent protections provided by a communication protocol. Symmetric encryption algorithms use the same key for plaintext encryption and ciphertext decryption. Common symmetric encryption algorithms include AES, Blowfish, and RC4. Affected platforms: Android, iOS. Mobile controls map to NIST SP 800-124 Rev 2 and OWASP MASVS.
