It is consistent... the process from a winning cryptographic algorithm to NIST FIPS standardization is pretty murky, and if you follow the hash-forum list at NIST, you'd see a lot of hue and cry about the reduction in capacity of Keccak. Of course, now that the Keccak team has weighed in, it appears that the eventual SHA-3 FIPS standard will include one or more high-security modes. NIST appears to have learned from this that the standardization process has to be equally as transparent as the competition/cryptanalysis process. That's a very good thing. best, Joe - -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Chief Technologist Center for Democracy & Technology 1634 I ST NW STE 1100 Washington DC 20006-4011 (p) 202-407-8825 (f) 202-637-0968 [email protected] PGP: https://josephhall.org/gpg-key fingerprint: BE7E A889 7742 8773 301B 4FA1 C0E2 6D90 F257 77F8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEAREIAAYFAlJoFfAACgkQwOJtkPJXd/gbPgCeJfMqOD+LE6JyxEiv5T1Pzr3J sv8AoIKcHCx6Ph3YAdUnYIkGBI0i4Kl0 =Xecl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
