# Canonical primitives

Crypto primitive names in findings and rule packs are **canonical and uppercase** (`RSA`, `ECDSA`, `AES`, `SHA-256`, `ML-KEM`, `ML-DSA`, …).

## Why this matters

Free-text primitive labels break correlation, classification tables, and SARIF baselines. Rules must reference a primitive that exists in the classifier's canonical set (`internal/classify` in the repository).

## Classification pointers

Authoritative mappings live in product code with citations to FIPS 203/204/205, NIST SPs, CNSA 2.0, or RFCs. Documentation summarizes; it does not invent thresholds. See [Quantum classification](/concepts/classification).
