Nessie

NESSIE

NESSIE was a European research project funded from 2000 to 2003 to identify secure cryptographic primitives. The project was comparable to the NIST AES process and the Japanese Government-sponsored CRYPTREC project, but with notable differences from both. In particular, there is both overlap and disagreement between the selections and recommendations from NESSIE and CRYPTREC. The NESSIE participants include some of the foremost active cryptographers in the world, as does the CRYPTREC project.
