Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2016-01-13 16:10:47 UTC
Description of problem:
The SHA-3 algorithm is specified in FIPS-202. We should plan to have support for that algorithm in libgcrypt somepoint at RHEL-7.x. Note that currently, this is in no way urgent, and should be prioritized as such.

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2016-01-13 16:17:22 UTC
What is the point having SHA-3 in libgcrypt in RHEL-7 if nothing will use it?
