NIST just came out with:  NISTIR 8369


"Status Report on the Second Round of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography 
Standardization Process"

https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8369/final

I have been working with Xoodyak which is one of the 4 AEAD/hashing 
finalists.  You can see how I am using it in:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-moskowitz-hip-new-crypto/

I "like" Xoodyak, as I am able to use it much like Keccak/SHA3/SHAKE.  
It does not come with the nice standardized calls as in SP800-185, but I 
think I have duplicated SHAKE/cSHAKE/KMAC with Xoodyak in my draft.  
Comments welcome!

It has been implemented in openHIP.
