+
+* Allan Saddi <allan@saddi.com>
+ - implemented the basic SHA512 algorithm and released it under
+ a BSD licence.
+
+* Tamas TEVESZ <ice@extreme.hu>
+ - Gave a lot of good feedback regarding the SHA512 password
+ hashing algorithm and gave inspiration to implement a much
+ better algorithm and also what became the the password hash
+ cache.
+
+* Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
+ - Released a document into the Public Domain with code
+ examples for a proper SHA512 password hashing algorithm,
+ which inspired me to adopt most of this implementation into
+ which became the current SHA512 password hashing algorithm.
+ Most of the core password algorithm is based on this document,
+ but combined with the already basic implementation of SHA512
+ hashing. See common/passwd.c for more details.
