Abstract

<p>This article addresses the problem of auditing encryption and key&nbsp;management security policies in web-server systems based on system analysis and&nbsp;formal modeling. The relevance of the study stems from the fact that the mere&nbsp;presence of cryptographic protection mechanisms does not guarantee their correct&nbsp;and complete implementation in accordance with policy requirements, which&nbsp;may result in discrepancies between actual system configurations and regulatory&nbsp;requirements. The aim of the study is to formalize policy requirements and audit&nbsp;evidence within a unified framework, develop a mechanism for their matching,&nbsp;and propose an assessment model based on indicators of compliance, audit&nbsp;completeness, risk, consistency, stability, and adaptability. The study employs system&nbsp;analysis, formal specification, indicator-based evaluation, logical relationship&nbsp;modeling, and algorithm design methods. As a result, a multilayer audit object&nbsp;model, an approach for matching policy requirements with audit evidence, an&nbsp;assessment mechanism accounting for partial compliance, and a risk-oriented&nbsp;integrated audit model were developed. The proposed approach can be applied to&nbsp;the assessment of web-server infrastructures, application software systems, and&nbsp;key management processes, as well as to the prioritization of audit findings and&nbsp;the support of managerial decision-making. In conclusion, the developed model&nbsp;transforms cryptographic policy auditing from a set of isolated checks into a&nbsp;<br /> coherent, measurable, and algorithmically processable scientific framework.</p>
