SM3 vs SHA-256: Comparing the Chinese and NIST Hash Algorithms

SM3 versus SHA-256: same 256-bit digest strength, structural similarities (Merkle-Damgård), the standard test vectors for integration debugging, hardware acceleration differences, when Chinese compliance mandates SM3, and HMAC's algorithm-agnostic construction.

Chinese National Cryptography (SM2/SM3/SM4/SM9/ZUC): A Developer's Introduction

Introduction to China's commercial cryptography standards: what SM2, SM3, SM4, SM9 and ZUC each do, how they map to RSA/SHA/AES, the TLCP GM-TLS protocol, compliance drivers (等保, government, finance), library landscape (BouncyCastle, sm-crypto, Tongsuo), and online tools for hands-on learning.
