Is it in the plans for running the SHA2 tests to get the sha256sum sha384sum and sha512sum programs listed as tested on the NIST site?
Probably not. I don't recall any mention of such validation in my time following this mailing list, and there's nothing similar that I can see in the TODO file.
To clarify, are you asking for coreutils' SHA implementation to be validated in accordance with SHAVS [1], to appear in the SHS Validation List [2]?
We have a need for them to be listed. Thank you.
It seems, from a quick skim of the NIST site, that implementations must be tested by an approved lab. As I doubt such certification is free, a sponsor would likely be needed.
