Ryan,
In r1.16 of the Editor's Draft, the recognized algorithm names for
SHA-2 algorithms are:
"SHA-2-224"
The SHA-2 224-bit algorithm as specified in Section 6.3
"SHA-2-256"
The SHA-2 256-bit algorithm as specified in Section 6.2
"SHA-2-384"
The SHA-2 384-bit algorithm as specified in Section 6.5
"SHA-2-512"
The SHA-2 512-bit algorithm as specified in Section 6.4
I suggest that we use the exact algorithm names used in FIPS 180-3:
"SHA-224", "SHA-256", "SHA-384", and "SHA-512". As you pointed out to
me, these names are also registered in this IANA registry:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/hash-function-text-names/hash-function-text-names.xml
I suggest we reference FIPS 180-4 instead of FIPS 180-3.
