Title: SHA 2 made by NSA Post by: btctozar@gmail.com on May 06, 2013, 05:07:50 PM What a coincident ...
SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) designed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and published in 2001 by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.

but there could be a possibbility the NSA is behind the whole Bitcoin story. Why is the bitcoin using the SHA2 and not the much saver SHA3 which was not designed by the NSA? Title: Re: SHA 2 made by NSA Post by: btctozar@gmail.com on May 06, 2013, 05:35:38 PM What the SHA3 or the whitlisting ?
;D Title: Re: SHA 2 made by NSA Post by: OkElmo on May 06, 2013, 05:37:36 PM [...]and not the much saver SHA3 which was not designed by the NSA? Check the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3 It hasn't been standardized yet, and it wasn't created to improve upon SHA-2. Also, what makes you think the NSA is more likely to hide a malicious and clever backdoor in the algorithm than any other group or organization? More importantly: I can understand the importance of decrypting communications, but what advantage could a group like the NSA gain from creating hash functions vulnerable to collision?
