GOST cryptography ¶

This site is dedicated to Russian Federation’s cryptographic algorithms and is intended to popularize them as a viable alternative to extensively used western ones. Many people even do not know about their existence.

Why those algorithms could be interesting and great worth alternative to foreign ones? Because they are obviously not worse, in some places are much better and have high serious security margin.

Information here is aimed for software and protocol developers.
