Not for my use cases. What I worry most is how would applications detect the correct sha3 being in place? Would there be a new definition in the header or should applications check the nettle version number? (if it is the latter it means that I cannot have a hot fix in Fedora for example, unless there is a new release). regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
