# Cryptography Skills Discovery
Provides automatic access to comprehensive cryptography and security skills.
## When This Skill Activates
This skill auto-activates when you're working with:
- TLS, SSL, mTLS
- Certificates and PKI
- Encryption and decryption
- Hashing and signing
- Key management
- HTTPS configuration
- Certificate authorities
- Cryptographic algorithms
- Security best practices
## Available Skills
### Quick Reference
The Cryptography category contains 7 skills:
1. **pki-fundamentals** - PKI, certificate authorities, X.509, trust chains
2. **tls-configuration** - TLS 1.2/1.3 setup, cipher suites, server config
3. **ssl-legacy** - SSL 2.0/3.0, TLS 1.0/1.1, deprecation, migration
4. **sni-routing** - Server Name Indication, multi-domain TLS hosting
5. **certificate-management** - Certificate lifecycle, Let's Encrypt, automation
6. **cryptography-basics** - Symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, signing
7. **crypto-best-practices** - Security patterns, common mistakes, anti-patterns
### Load Full Category Details
For complete descriptions and workflows:
```bash
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/INDEX.md
```
This loads the full Cryptography category index with:
- Detailed skill descriptions
- Usage triggers for each skill
- Common workflow combinations
- Cross-references to related skills
### Load Specific Skills
Load individual skills as needed:
```bash
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/pki-fundamentals.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/tls-configuration.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/certificate-management.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/cryptography-basics.md
```
## Common Workflows
### Setting Up HTTPS
```bash
# PKI basics → TLS config → Certificate management
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/pki-fundamentals.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/tls-configuration.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/certificate-management.md
```
### Understanding Encryption
```bash
# Basics → Best practices → Specific implementation
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/cryptography-basics.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/crypto-best-practices.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/tls-configuration.md
```
### Certificate Troubleshooting
```bash
# PKI → Certificate management → Debugging
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/pki-fundamentals.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/certificate-management.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/protocols/protocol-debugging.md
```
### Legacy Migration
```bash
# Understand legacy → Modern TLS → Migration
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/ssl-legacy.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/tls-configuration.md
cat ~/.claude/skills/cryptography/certificate-management.md
```
