The Foundry

ch/gb collab, NIST SHA-3 competition finalist. Strongly secure, high-performance algo

Improved version of SHA-3 finalist BLAKE, optimized for 64-bit platforms.

IBM's NIST SHA-3 semi-finalist,strong against differential cryptanalysis

NIST SHA-3 finalist, strong against side-channel attacks and good performance

4 interleaved/concatenated rounds of hashing (BLAKE, Grøstl, Keccak, SHA-256). Anti-ASIC, pro-GPU, small memory footprint

NIST SHA-3 competition winnah. Notably faster in h/w than other finalists, equally secure, designed for h/w impl.

9 chained rounds of NIST SHA-3 candidates: BLAKE, BMW, Grøstl, JH, Skein and Keccak. 1 round for each algo + 3 @random

5 chained rounds of NIST SHA-3 semis : Luffa, CubeHash, SHAvite, SIMD and ECHO. CPU-friendly, GPU-accessible

ASIC-hostile, GPU-friendly algo using password-based key derivation function as PoW

UnitedScryptCoin merge-mined version of ASIC-hostile, GPU-friendly algo using PBKDF as PoW

CPU-friendly and fast. Integrity challenged, attack is theoretical so best used only for research/study.

Full native 32bit support, pro-ASIC, classic NIST fast midrange-digest hash function

2x faster than SHA-512, 3x faster than SHA-256. Conservative, uses Threefish block cipher, hashes short messages in ~1000 clock cycles.

1024 internal state size - exceptionally high level of security assurance. Fast w. long messages, nearly 2x faster than Skein-512 in hardware.

11 chained rounds of a predetermined sequence of hash algos: BLAKE, BMW, Grøstl, JH, Keccak, Skein, Luffa, CubeHash, SHAvite, SIMD, ECHO

Cooler, energy-efficient. 4 chained rounds of NIST SHA-3 256-bit hashing functions: Fugue, SHAvite, Hamsi, Panama. Anti-ASIC, pro-CPU, pro-GPU.

Anti-ASIC memory-hard PoW, checked in just a few ms but requiring Gb of RAM to solve efficiently

ISO standard, NESSIE-approved 512-bit hashing algo, joint br/be team, used for TrueCrypt.

Pure primes-search PoW algo for minting & security. May lead to useful number theory by-products

DirectConnect/Gnutella choice, pro-CPU, fast in software, but difficult to implement in h/w
