he 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 team’s 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 NIST’s SHA-3 hash algorithm.
