+GmSSL will support all the following GM/T cryptographic algorithms:
 
-## GM/T SSL Protocol
+ - SM3 (GM/T 0004-2012): cryptographic hash function with 256-bit digest length.
+ - SM4 (GM/T 0002-2012): block cipher with 128-bit key length and 128-bit block size, also named SMS4.
+ - SM2 (GM/T 0003-2012): elliptic curve cryptographic schemes including digital signature scheme, public key encryption, (authenticated) key exchange protocol and one recommended 256-bit prime field curve `sm2p256v1`.
+ - SM9 (GM/T 0044-2016): pairing-based cryptographic schemes including identity-based digital signature, encryption, (authenticated) key exchange protocol and one 256-bit recommended BN curve.
+ - ZUC (GM/T 0001-2012): stream cipher, with 128-EEA3 encryption algorithm and 128-EIA3 integrity algorithm.
+ - SM1 and SSF33: block ciphers with 128-bit key length and 128-bit block size without public specification, only provided with chip.
+ 
+GmSSL supports many useful cryptographic algorithms and schemes:
+
+ - Public-key schemes: Paillier, ECIES (Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme)
+ - Pairing-based cryptography: BF-IBE, BB1-IBE
+ - Block ciphers and modes: Serpent, Speck
+ - Block cipher modes: FPE (Format-Preserver Encryption)
+ - Encoding: Base58
+
+OpenSSL algorithms such as ECDSA, RSA, AES, SHA-1 are all remained in GmSSL.
