FYI, FIPS 186-4 is Digital Signature Algorithm - Wikipedia[^], which uses SHA1/2 to sign items. NIST SP 800-56A/B are about key distribution, I can't find a dumbed down explanation but from the NIST[^] Documents[^] introductions and tables of contents I think these are about using RSA/etc to distribute the symmetric keys used for the remainder of a session. Interestingly enough the NIST 800-56 family also has a C version[^] not referenced in the original article...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.
