For information requiring cryptographic protection, only cryptography endorsed and approved by CSE [Communications Security Establishment] is to be used.... A cryptographic endorsement indicates that the cryptography meets acceptable design specifications. It does not, however, approve the cryptography for any specific application role. A cryptographic approval identifies endorsed cryptography and the details of proposed application or operational role.

Seule la cryptographie homologuée et approuvée par le CST [Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications] doit être utilisée pour les renseignements qui doivent être protégés de cette façon. [...] [L'homologation] atteste que l'équipement répond à des normes acceptables, sans toutefois en sanctionner une application donnée.
