Fascinating that China has its own cipher suite. Do they not trust Western algorithms? All of which have been carefully scrutinized by some of the world's
foremost experts and developed in the open.

Or is this merely a "national pride" thing ("Yeah we Chinks can make crypto too").

Me, I just use RC4 (dropping the first outputted 2048 bytes).

China and the Russian Federation have their own crypto and hashing algos,
which btw. I use in yubisigner too, to be international.

Oh how fun! ;^o

Sure, a lot of fun, because in Eurasia we can use RIPEMD-256, SM3 and Streebog-256. And best of all, yubisigner detached ASCII signatures
and it's included Comment: header, containing these hashes, can't be
faked like Comment: headers in OpenPGP and bsd-signify software. :-P

You can try that out by yourself, if you have a YubiKey:

You can use any hash you want. Password SHA512:

When I used SHA256 for joking with the NSA, third-parties
modified my GitHub repository's source code[1], hence I
invented yubisigner...

China **is awesome** Today I have read about openKylin and installed
it on my little and very cute GPD MicroPC. It runs nicely as English
version. In the next couple of days I will be testing it with Rust /
Golang and maybe also with old C tech, to see how flnews performs on
it. :-)

The Kylin OS family is widely used in China's Military and Business
etc. And openKylin 3.0 will move over from C to Rust more and more!

For me, as an Eurasian, this is all fantastic news from our Chinese
friends, as the EU is not capable to deliver secure Open Source OSs
or other modern Open Source technology (which I have to do myself.)
