Since announcing KECCAK as the winning algorithm of the SHA-3 Cryptographic Hash Algorithm Competition on October 2, 2012, NIST has consulted with the Keccak design team and the cryptographic community in its effort to specify Keccak as the new SHA-3 Standard. The table below shows major events in the development of FIPS 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 10/02/2012 | SHA-3 competition ended; KECCAK announced as the winner. (NIST News Release) |
| 02/06/2013 | KECCAK team’s visit and presentation on SHA-3. |
| 02/27/2013-11/01/2013 | NIST shared SHA-3 standardization plans (see NIST Presentations below) with cryptographic community at various events. |
| 05/28/2014 | Draft FIPS 202announced in the Federal Register. Revision to the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4 also proposed to allow the use of hash functions specified in either FIPS 180-4 or FIPS 202 for Federal applications that require a cryptographic hash function. |
| 08/22/2014 | SHA-3 Workshop at UCSB to obtain public feedback. |
| 08/26/2014 | Public comment period on Draft FIPS 202 ends. |
| 08/05/2015 | FIPS 202 and Revised Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4 announced in the Federal Register. |

FIPS 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash And Extendable-Output Functions
NIST published a Federal Register Notice on May 28, 2014 to announce the publication of Draft FIPS 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions, and Draft Revision of the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4, Secure Hash Standard, and request public comments. A 90-day public comment period was provided; instructions for submitting comments were detailed in the FRN.
NIST has resolved comments received before the August 26, 2014 deadline, and announced the publication of FIPS 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions in the Federal Register on August 5, 2015. The revision of the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4 is also approved, that would allow the use of hash functions specified in either FIPS 180-4 or FIPS 202 for Federal applications that require a cryptographic hash function.
