SBOM vs CBOM: Software and Cryptographic Bills of Materials Explained

How confident are you that you know every component inside your software, and every algorithm guarding it? In practice, the answer is usually scattered across build tools, ticketing systems, and spreadsheets that stopped being accurate months ago.
