# Encryption Dataset

> The Encryption Dataset provides tools for identifying and analysing cryptographic algorithms used in your codebase. Choose your approach based on your specific needs.

The Encryption Dataset identifies cryptographic algorithms, libraries, and protocols used in your codebase, both in your own source code and in the open source components you depend on. Use it to understand your project's cryptographic footprint, a common requirement for security reviews and export compliance.
