Who actually wrote the faulty code? I had the impression that the padding change was written by the keccak team at the request of NIST.

- tptacek 4y agoThe Keccak team wrote XKCP, for whatever that's worth.
- aliqot 4y agoKeccak for xkcp and NIST for the padding, as far as I can remember. As I recall the padding was added first, and the explanation came later. There was great distrust at first during this time as a result, hence the name 'mystery padding' we used.
