NIST 公告選出了 SHA-3 演算法：「NIST Selects Winner of Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) Competition」。
演算法是 Keccak (唸作 catch-ack)，這個演算法其中一個優勢是硬體速度：
Keccak has higher performance in hardware implementations than SHA-2 or any of the other finalists.
由於選上的演算法會是 royalty-free license，接下來應該會看到許多 spec 開始納入 SHA-3... (參考 Announcing Request for Candidate Algorithm Nominations for a New Cryptographic Hash Algorithm (SHA-3) Family 這份文件)
