Subject: NIST announces Draft Requirements and Evaluation Criteria for
New Hash Algorithms
NIST Wants Comments on Proposed Hash Algorithm Requirements and
Evaluation Criteria
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is planning a
competition to develop one or more cryptographic hash algorithms to
augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard (Federal
Information Processing Standard 180-2). As a first step in this
process, NIST is publishing draft minimum acceptability requirements,
submission requirements, and evaluation criteria for candidate
algorithms ( See the Federal Register Announcement on
http://www.nist.gov/hash-function ), and requests public comment by
April 27, 2007.
