NIST Proposes Two New Hash ModesElliptic's Blog - Elliptic TechnologiesFeb. 28, 2011 |
NIST has recently proposed a new FIPS 180-4 draft to introduce two Secure Hash Standard (SHS) modes based on the SHA-512 primitive. The proposed modes are meant to offer more efficient alternatives to SHA-224 and SHA-256 hashing algorithms on 64-bit based platforms. The draft standard FIPS 180-4 is intended to supersede the current standard FIPS 180-3.
