Some notes on SHA-3

What is SHA-3? &para; SHA-3 is a family of cryptographic hash functions (also see SHA-3 on Wikipedia ). NIST selected Keccak as implementation for SHA-3 in October 2012, and released a draft specifying the details in April 2014. I think the algorithm details are final. How does it work? &para; Keccak consists of two components: Permutation functions Keccak-f for specific state sizes (1600, 800,…
