Third (Final) Round Candidates

Official comments on the Third (Final) Round Candidate Algorithms should be submitted using the "Submit Comment" link for the appropriate algorithm. Comments from hash-forum listserv subscribers will also be forwarded to the hash-forum listserv. We will periodically post and update the comments received to the appropriate algorithm.

Please refrain from using OFFICIAL COMMENT to ask administrative questions, which should be sent to hash-function@nist.gov

Algorithm names are linked to the final tweaked packages from the submitters for the third round. Previous submissions can be found on the Round 1 and Round 2 pages.

By selecting the "Submitter's Website" links, you will be leaving NIST webspace. We have provided these links to other web sites because they may have information that would be of interest to you. No inferences should be drawn on account of other sites being referenced, or not, from this page. There may be other web sites that are more appropriate for your purpose. NIST does not necessarily endorse the views expressed, or concur with the facts presented on these sites. Further, NIST does not endorse any commercial products that may be mentioned on these sites.
