    "The selection process will take around four years. I've previously called
     this sort of thing a cryptographic demolition derby -- last one left
     standing wins -- but that's only half true. Certainly all the groups will
     spend the next couple of years trying to cryptanalyze each other, but in
     the end there will be a bunch of unbroken algorithms; NIST will select one
     based on performance and features." -Schneier
