Was looking for something else related to Ethereum, but saw this Reddit comment & felt compelled to respond.

1. Ethereum's version of keccak is different than the SHA3 standard because they decided to move ahead before the authors of the algorithm sent in their final submissions (to the NIST competition; 'Blake' was another finalist here).

2. The "NSA" did not force the authors to tweak their algorithm. The U.S. agency responsible for holding the competition, liaising w teams, publishing information & ultimately adjudicating the competition was the NIST.
