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.
