Same here in Kazakhstan. And we also use our home-made crypto algorithms (derived from USSR GOST), which are not present in popular open source libraries.

    Are those different from Russian GOST algorithms? I think there’s a bunch of libraries (mostly forks of other popular open source libraries) for that.
