Hmm. I didn't expect this announcement this soon - at least on the public mailing list, the notion of a winner still seemed very far away. Just 18 days ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/crypto-competitio... Anyway, as best as I could tell, the consensus on the public mailing list was that the best case for a singular winner would be an amalgamation of four finalists: Argon2, Lyra2, Catena, and yescrypt. Each of them has some properties that are desirable. I'm curious to what extent Argon2 will be modified - and especially curious if the final spec will have tunable parameters / multiple modes or be a one-size-fits-all deal. Edit: If you're interested in more information, a decent starting place is this paper: https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/881.pdf If you folks want more reading material, I can pull some emails from the mailing list |
