1) If you write such simple applications, you are very lucky
I am not 'lucky' nor write 'such simple applications': one can, for example, write fairly complex DSP applications that, as such, have nothing to do with cryptography but can use a ready digest-verification implementation for example for licence file verification...It is reasonable to expect that such a simple use case does not suddenly double your binary size..with cryptographic code that you never ever use. -- "What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate."
