Do you remember the story about Polish trains fitted with DRM not allowing 3rd party services to support them? Take a look how it evolves. It's not funny at all. streaming.media.ccc.de/38c3/relive/336

Dobrý den UniCredit Bank, posíláte elektronicky podepsané e-maily (technologie S/MIME). GMail, bohužel takové e-maily neumí správně zpracovat. Výsledkem je, že uživatel vidí velký červený vykřičník ohledně neplatného podpisu a může se domnívat, že se jedná o spam.

In 2012 Keccak was selected as the winner of the SHA-3 competition. In 2015 NIST approved the SHA-3 standard in the FIPS 202. Windows implements it since Windows 11, version 24H2. Huzzah! Look for the keyword BCRYPT_SHA3_512_ALGORITHM.
