-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Thoughts? It wasn't the algorithm I had anticipated, but does anyone really anticipate this seeing any wide spread adoption without a huge delay in between?
//landon - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: NIST Selects Winner of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) Competition Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 23:13:01 +0200 From: Kristian Fiskerstrand <kristian.fiskerstr...@sumptuouscapital.com> To: Gnupg <gnupg-us...@gnupg.org> Dear all, The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) today announced the winner of its five-year competition to select a new cryptographic hash algorithm, one of the fundamental tools of modern information security. The winning algorithm, Keccak (pronounced catch-ack), was created by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen and Gilles Van Assche of STMicroelectronics and Michaël Peeters of NXP Semiconductors. The teams entry beat out 63 other submissions that NIST received after its open call for candidate algorithms in 2007, when it was thought that SHA-2, the standard secure hash algorithm, might be threatened. Keccak will now become NISTs SHA-3 hash algorithm.
