@unnumbered 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.
