Hi folks,
Two pieces of good news today:
* The new SHA-3 candidate has been announced following a five-year
period of intense scrutiny.
* The winner is Keccak, whose authors used Sage in the design of the algorithm.
The news release is at
http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/sha-100212.cfm
The specification and design of Keccak is at

Cool! In particular, see section 4.2.2 of the pdf above. Apparently
they use various things in Sage, including PolyBoRi. They set up a Sage
server version 1.4 (remember the algorithm was submitted in 2007, IIRC)
and automated tests through the server.
Thanks,
Jason
