High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The NIST hash function competition is an open competition held by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology for a new SHA-3 function to replace the older SHA-1 and SHA-2, which was formally announced in the Federal Register on November 2, 2007. "NIST is initiating an effort to develop one or more additional hash algorithms through a public competition, similar to the development process for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)." Submissions were due October 31, 2008, with a list of candidates accepted for the first round published December 9, 2008. NIST held a conference in late February 2009 where submitters gave presentations on their algorithms and NIST officials discussed criteria for narrowing down the field of candidates for Round 2. The list of 14 candidates accepted to Round 2 was published on July 24, 2009. The announcement of the final round candidates is tentatively scheduled for 2010, while the proclamation of a winner and publication of the new standard are scheduled to take place in 2012.
