Given the recent potential weaknesses in the SHA and MD families, I thought it might not be a bad idea to include another hash/digest algorithm in the kernel. So here is Whirlpool. I chose it for a couple of reasons. o - It is by the same people who did Khazad. I feel pretty good about their work. o - It has been evaluated by NESSIE https://www.cosic.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/nessie/reports/phase1/sagwp3-037_1.pdf o - NESSIE has accepted it as one of the cryptographic primitives o - It will be part of an ISO standard in the revised ISO/IEC 10118-3:2003(E) standard, thanks to NESSIE o - It is patent free and has an implementation in the public domain.
