Where did you read that? The only thing she says is to wait the competition to end (by 2022):
> “It's very important that people wait for NIST to do its due diligence,” Frincke said.
This is the standard process.
- CrazyStat 7y agoThe NSA, who have a history of feeding NIST intentionally compromised crypto algorithms, suggest we need to wait to hear what NIST recommends? How very fucking convenient.
- pera 7y agoIt's a totally different ball game though: this isn't about NIST recommending a shady algorithm with mysterious parameters, this is about a well-known standardization process that accept submissions from cryptographers all around the world where anyone can review the proposals and make comments. I don't care what they end up selecting as the winner (and to be honest, I'm so ridiculously paranoid that I don't trust Keccak, for instance), I just think that having a competition where everyone is spending all their energy into looking for flaws on the others candidates is a great thing. Next year China will announce a similar standardization process. Do I trust China? of course not, but I really welcome this initiative anyways.
