So we all know NIST is being puppeteered by the NSA, specifically in regards to quantum-secure encryption, which means you probably can't use that in certain situations. What are non-14-eye governments doing with encryption? Does anyone have any interesting sources or names of algorithms or anything that can help in this regard?

    Not planning anything, I was just curious about cryptography in RF or PRC. We all use symmetric and asymmetric cryptography approved by the NSA, but we rarely hear of Russian or Chinese (or any other country's) algorithms. The closest I've got was looking at GOST and specifically Kuznyechik, and not very closely. I thought someone else might have had an interest in this like I did, who is more advanced and could point me in the right direction.

    So there's GOST for Russian standards and there's SM2/SM3/SM4 (ShangMi) for China's standards (westists seething).

      I am very much thinking of this as well.

      I want to start my own website and possibly a web community as well.

      And, of course, I'm wondering what to use or what I should know to possibly protect myself.

      But no, I'm not advanced on this subject.

      I've also been looking at Chinese vendors for cryptographic hardware accelerator modules, but they all just implement NIST specs.
