Now From Bruce Schneier, the Skein Hash Function

An anonymous reader writes "Bruce Schneier and company have created a new hash function called Skein. From his blog entry: 'NIST is holding a competition to replace the SHA family of hash functions, which have been increasingly under attack. (I wrote about an early NIST hash workshop here.) Skein is our submission (myself and seven others: Niels Ferguson, Stefan Lucks, Doug Whiting, Mihir Bellare, Tadayoshi Kohno, Jon Callas, and Jesse Walker). Here's the paper."

FPDF? That looks more like a FHTML file to me. I think that, if Bruce was really pro-community, he'd publish his writing in the FODF format.

On a side note, perhaps Slashdot could apply to the ISO to have its family of F* file formats registered.
