1.3.6 SHA3

Description

The Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) was designed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and is a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). The SHA-3 family of standards was released by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

SHA-3 is based on the KECCAK algorithm. The SHA-3 family includes four fixed-length hash functionsand two extendable-output functions (XOFs), SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256. This demo application demonstrates the functionality of Crypto v4 SHA-3 functions.
