NIST Unveils Next Generation of Hash Algorithm: ‘Keccak’ Praised for Elegant Design. NIST announced a winner on Oct. 2: Keccak (pronounced catch-ack), which was created by European semiconductor companies. The European team defeated 63 other submissions, and will become the Institute’s SHA-3 hash algorithm. The new hash algorithm’s compactness could make it useful for embedded smart devices that connect to electronic networks that are not themselves full-fledged computers.”]
