Bruce Schneier, author of the well-known tome Applied Cryptography, has announced his submission to NIST’s competition to replace the SHA family of hashes.
I haven’t been through the paper yet, but I intend to give it a read sometime soon.

It’s been a while since I last posted.
I’ve finished my summer course — here is the paper we submitted.
I’ve also begun the last semester of my Master’s Degree. This fall I’m enrolled in my final two courses: “Introduction to Software Engineering” (a course about Software Engineering processes and practices) & “Project Management” (a course about managing any project across industries, not solely focused on Software Engineering projects).
My thesis work is coming along as well, but it looks to be a busy, busy next several months.

has been granted by the USPTO.
That’s exciting!
