NAME

       EVP_sha3_224, EVP_sha3_256, EVP_sha3_384, EVP_sha3_512, EVP_shake128,
       EVP_shake256 - SHA-3 For EVP


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

        const EVP_MD *EVP_sha3_224(void);
        const EVP_MD *EVP_sha3_256(void);
        const EVP_MD *EVP_sha3_384(void);
        const EVP_MD *EVP_sha3_512(void);

        const EVP_MD *EVP_shake128(void);
        const EVP_MD *EVP_shake256(void);


DESCRIPTION

       SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3) is a family of cryptographic hash
       functions standardized in NIST FIPS 202, first published in 2015. It is
       based on the Keccak algorithm.

       EVP_sha3_224(), EVP_sha3_256(), EVP_sha3_384(), EVP_sha3_512()
           The SHA-3 SHA-3-224, SHA-3-256, SHA-3-384, and SHA-3-512 algorithms
           respectively. They produce 224, 256, 384 and 512 bits of output
           from a given input.

       EVP_shake128(), EVP_shake256()
           The SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 Extendable Output Functions (XOF) that
           can generate a variable hash length.

           Specifically, EVP_shake128 provides an overall security of 128
           bits, while EVP_shake256 provides that of 256 bits.


NOTES

       Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
       calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
       EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-SHA3(7) or EVP_MD-SHAKE(7) instead.  See
       "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.


RETURN VALUES

       These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
       implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
       details of the EVP_MD structure.


CONFORMING TO

       NIST FIPS 202.
