NISTIR 8369 Second Round Status Report
Acknowledgments
NIST thanks the second-round submission teams, who developed and designed the
second-round candidates, and the cryptographic community, who analyzed the candidates,
shared their comments through the lwc-forum, and published papers on various technical
aspects of the candidates.
NIST also thanks the developers, who provided optimized implementations of the can-
didates as well as the hardware and software benchmarking initiatives, for their contribution
to the understanding of the performance characteristics of the algorithms on various target
platforms.
Specifically, NIST thanks all those who contributed to the following projects: (i) FPGA
benchmarking by K. Mohajerani, R. Haeussler, R. Nagpal, F. Farahmand, A. Abdulgadir,
J.-P. Kaps, and K. Gaj; (ii) ASIC benchmarking by M. Aagaard and N. Zidari

c; (iii) ASIC
benchmarking by M. Khairallah, T. Peyrin, and A. Chattopadhyay; (iv) Microcontroller
benchmarking by S. Renner, E. Pozzobon, and J. Mottok; (v) Microcontroller benchmark-
ing by R. Weatherley; (vi) RISC-V benchmarking by F. Campos, L. Jellema, M. Lemmen,
L. M

uller, D. Sprenkels, and B. Viguier; (vii) RISC-V benchmarking by G. Nisanci, R.
Atay, M. K. Pehlivanoglu, E. B. Kavun, and T. Yalc¸ın; and (viii) eBACS (ECRYPT Bench-
marking of Cryptographic Systems) benchmarking by D. J. Bernstein and T. Lange.
The authors of this report acknowledge and appreciate contributions from their col-
leagues at NIST – Lily Chen, Andrew Regenscheid, Sara Kerman, Noah Waller, Isabel Van
