Are you sure of that? I ask because a few years ago, I had a discussion with the Camellia authors about some new work, and their slides made me question "how much of a national standard is this?" Their answer was extremely non-commital, and they never followed up.

I ask this not to poke at Camellia or the authors, but to find out if CFRG needs to group Camellia/Japan with GOST/Russia.
