What do the categories stand for?

How was the selection made?

eSTREAM assembled a panel of experts to consider the information to hand. The panel consisted of Steve Babbage (Vodafone, UK), Christophe De Canniere (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium), Anne Canteaut (INRIA, France ), Carlos Cid (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK), Henri Gilbert (France Telecom R&D, France), Thomas Johansson (Lund University, Sweden), Christof Paar (Ruhr-University of Bochum, Germany), Matthew Parker (University of Bergen, Norway), Bart Preneel (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium), Vincent Rijmen (Graz University of Technology, Austria), Matt Robshaw (France Telecom R&D, France) and Hongjun Wu (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium).

The panel studied all information available on these primitives - including the original description, cryptanalysis, performance, responses by authors to analysis, forum discussions - and made the selection. The details are given in the Phase 2 report.
