The reasoning of NIST can be found here: http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/sha-100212.cfm Quote: "The clarity of Keccak’s construction lends itself to easy analysis (during the competition all submitted algorithms were made available for public examination and criticism), and Keccak has higher performance in hardware implementations than SHA-2 or any of the other finalists."
