<quote>
In light of recent attacks on the SHA-1 hash function specified in FIPS 180-2,
Secure Hash Standard, NIST is initiating an effort to develop one or more
additional hash algorithms through a public competition, similar to the
development process for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The National
Institute of Standards and Technology is planning a competition to develop one
or more cryptographic hash algorithms to augment and revise the current Secure
Hash Standard (Federal Information Processing Standard 180-2).
