    @Ram In example questions, these are operating system architectures that are meant to step away from the general architecture into ones more suitable for these applications

I think that "Data Security: Cryptography" needs to be clarified and narrowed. A lot of cryptography is much more IT Security, including the implementation of algorithms.

I think that it should be refined to something like "Generating and storing entropy".
