The SANDstorm hash[1] is a cryptographic hash function designed in 2008 by Mark Torgerson, Richard Schroeppel, Tim Draelos, Nathan Dautenhahn, Sean Malone, Andrea Walker, Michael Collins, and Hilarie Orman for the NIST SHA-3 competition.
The SANDstorm hash was accepted into the first round of the NIST hash function competition, but was not accepted into the second round.
[2] The hash function has an explicit key schedule.
[3] The hash function can be parallelized on a large range of platforms[which?]
[4] Both SANDstorm-256 and SANDstorm-512 run more than twice as slowly as SHA-2 as measured by cpb.
