Thanks for your correction. I think it may be a viable alternative in the future. If everyone's having problems with NIST, perhaps we can have more non-governmental competitions organized by the academics and the industry in the future, just like Password Hashing Competition. I believe the CAESAR competition is also non-governmental, and has made great results as well.
