回复：[PATCH] sm3: implement SM3 hash algorithm

[张佳(乾越)]

Plz search "Trusted Platform Module Library" spec rev 1.38 for the references to SM3. Also, I have a working TPM 2.0 hardware showing the capability of support on sm3.

I think it is unlikely that SM3 contains a backdoor.

It is intended to be used in governments and mission-critical devices.
There is no reason to use something dangerous (then U.S. can break?).
And it is generally not that easy to add a backdoor in a symmetric
algorithm if we obtain randomness from a physical source.


gcrypt cannot have all new functions -- otherwise, why not balloon
hashing and scrypt (the latter is used in many kinds of
cryptocurrency)?
