The badge takes too much space in my opinion. I think it's better to use something like the hashes security column. Also, I don't think we not use githubusercontent links in README. |
Hi, sorry for the long response. I changed it into a similar style. Is this okay? |

Not sure if these are useful if they aren't in the table

Why it's marked by 🤍? AFAIK it's the only AEAD algorithm standardized in Russia.

Overall, I am not sure about usefulness of this column in the current form. Right now it only indicates that CCM is an obsolete algorithm. Meanwhile, I personally would "recommend" to use SIV instead of GCM. |
|
Closing this for now. We need to develop a proper policy for recommending AEAD algorithms first. |
Added recommendation badges as per #272.
