Description
SHA-3 is now a NIST standard. The following names should be added to the Standard Algorithm Names document (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html):

MessageDigest Algorithms:
SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512

Mac Algorithms:
State that the naming convention being Hmac<digest> and provide HmacSHA3-256 as one example.

Signature Algorithms:
It already has naming convention stated, maybe replace the digest mentioned here for SHA-3.

Cipher Algorithms:
Check the description for PBE ciphers.

In addition, add a table for SHA-3 to the "Algorithm Specifications" and link it to FIPS PUB 202.

Modifications to Standard Algorithm Names and Oracle Providers have been made as part of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8147767 (Doc Tasks for SHA-3 Hash Algorithm)

SHA-3 has been made a NIST standard. Thus, we need to document the official names for SHA-3 in JDK 9 security doc as the standard names. Given this new progress, I am now targeting this doc enhancement to JDK 9. The names are as mentioned in earlier comments: SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512

Probably it's better to defer this to 8-pool until the NIST draft is made available.

Official NIST page: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/hash/sha-3/index.html NIST is still in the process of standardizing SHA-3 from the winning Keccak algorithm. The estimate on time line can be found here: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/hash/sha-3/timeline_fips.html However, it seems to be under some delay as the draft for SHA-3 is not yet made available (supposedly Q3 of 2013, now is already Q4). Besides the SHA-2 drop-in replacements, e.g. SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512, there are also 2 variable output-length algorithms, named SHAKE256 and SHAKE512. It's unclear at this point as to what will be the emphasis of the SHA-3 standard without seeing the draft.
