Grøstl: Information from Answers.com

Grøstl is a cryptographic hash function submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Praveen Gauravaram, Lars Knudsen, Krystian Matusiewicz, Florian Mendel, Christian Rechberger, Martin Schläffer, and Søren S. Thomsen. It uses the same S-box as AES in a custom construction. The authors claim speeds of up to 25.4 cycles per byte on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

According to the submission document, the name "Grøstl" is a multilingual play-on-words, referring to an Austrian dish that is very similar to hash (food).
