CAESAR (Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness) is a competition to identify a portfolio of authenticated encryption schemes that offer advantages over AES-GCM and are suitable for widespread adoption". It was run by the international cryptologic research community and was funded by NIST.  Daniel J. Bernstein is the secretary of the CAESAR committee. The submission deadline was March 2014. The project will be completed in 2018. The project was divided into four rounds and the project goal was to find algorithms suitable for different use cases.
