If you wish to be a trainee of mine, do not hesitate to contact me.

Shabal

I have participated to the Saphir project, on the security and design of hash functions. One of the achievement of this project was the definition of a new hash function called Shabal. Shabal' specifications are given here
Shabal was our candidate to the NIST cryptographic hash function competition. Shabal was qualified to the first round and to the to the second round. Unfortunately, it was not selected for the final . More information are available on shabal.com.
