NESSIE
NESSIE
NESSIE was a European research project funded from 2000–2003 to identify secure cryptographic primitives. The project was comparable to the NIST AES process and the Japanese Government-sponsored CRYPTREC project, but with notable differences from both. In particular, there is both overlap and disagreement between the selections and recommendations from NESSIE and CRYPTREC . The NESSIE participants include some of the foremost active cryptographers in the world, as does the CRYPTREC project.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: NESSIE
