Whirlpool (hash function): Standards & Science

In computer science and cryptography, Whirlpool (sometimes styled WHIRLPOOL) is a cryptographic hash function. It was designed by Vincent Rijmen (co-creator of the Advanced Encryption Standard) and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto, who first described it in 2000. It is named after the Whirlpool galaxy in Canes Venatici (M51, or NGC 5194), the first one recognized…
