Two-Track-MAC algorithm has been selected as a finalist for NESSIE in November 2000 and was conceived as a fast and reliable method to hash data. The development was attended by Bart of Van Rompay (Eng.) From the Leuven University (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) {{En dash}} Belgium and Bert den Boer of debis AG (Germany).

It uses two hash functions in parallel, making it similar to MDC-2.
