RustCrypto: SHA-3

Pure Rust implementation of the SHA-3 cryptographic hash algorithms.

There are 6 standard algorithms specified in the SHA-3 standard:

• SHA3-224
• SHA3-256
• SHA3-384
• SHA3-512
• SHAKE128, an extendable output function (XOF)
• SHAKE256, an extendable output function (XOF)
• Keccak224, Keccak256, Keccak384, Keccak512 (NIST submission without padding changes)

This crates additionally supports the TurboSHAKE XOF variant.

Examples

Output size of SHA3-256 is fixed, so its functionality is usually accessed via the Digest trait:

use hex_literal::hex;
use sha3::{Digest, Sha3_256};

let mut hasher = Sha3_256::new();
hasher.update(b"abc");
let hash = hasher.finalize();

assert_eq!(hash, hex!("3a985da74fe225b2045c172d6bd390bd855f086e3e9d525b46bfe24511431532"));

// Hex-encode hash using https://docs.rs/base16ct
let hex_hash = base16ct::lower::encode_string(&hash);
assert_eq!(hex_hash, "3a985da74fe225b2045c172d6bd390bd855f086e3e9d525b46bfe24511431532");

SHAKE functions have an extendable output, so finalization method returns XOF reader from which results of arbitrary length can be read. Note that these functions do not implement Digest, so lower-level traits have to be imported:

use sha3::{Shake128, digest::{Update, ExtendableOutput, XofReader}};
use hex_literal::hex;

let mut hasher = Shake128::default();
hasher.update(b"abc");
let mut reader = hasher.finalize_xof();
let mut buf = [0u8; 10];
reader.read(&mut buf);
assert_eq!(buf, hex!("5881092dd818bf5cf8a3"));

Also, see the examples section in the RustCrypto/hashes readme.

Minimum Supported Rust Version

Rust 1.71 or higher.

Minimum supported Rust version can be changed in the future, but it will be done with a minor version bump.
