Technical Summary
This document describes how the NIST Secure Hash Standard family of

the cryptographic authentication mechanism specified in RFC 2328.

No dissent reported (see PROTO writeup by Acee Lindem). Both WG
members and members of the security community have reviewed the

reviews. There is at least one prototype implementation.
