Do not reference these kinds of docs whenever you need practical, actionable advice. They serve their purpose, but are for a completely different kind of audience.

For anyone perusing this thread, your first resource for this kind of security advice should probably be the OWASP cheatsheets which is a living set of documents that packages current practice into direct recommendations for implementers.

It's been a couple years since I've looked but the track record of OWASP for cryptography advice has been pretty dismal.

I feel bad for OWASP. They're doing the lords work, but seem to have a shoestring budget.
