NAME

       EVP_MD-SHAKE, EVP_MD-KECCAK-KMAC - The SHAKE / KECCAK family EVP_MD implementations

DESCRIPTION

       Support for computing SHAKE or KECCAK-KMAC digests through the EVP_MD API.

       KECCAK-KMAC is an Extendable Output Function (XOF), with a definition similar to SHAKE, used by the KMAC
       EVP_MAC implementation (see EVP_MAC-KMAC(7)).

   Identities
       This implementation is available in the FIPS provider as well as the default provider, and includes the
       following varieties:

       KECCAK-KMAC-128
           Known  names  are "KECCAK-KMAC-128" and "KECCAK-KMAC128".  This is used by EVP_MAC-KMAC128(7).  Using
           the   notation   from   NIST   FIPS   202   (Section   6.2),   we   have   KECCAK-KMAC-128(M, d)    =
           KECCAK[256](M || 00, d) (see the description of KMAC128 in Appendix A of NIST SP 800-185).

       KECCAK-KMAC-256
           Known  names  are "KECCAK-KMAC-256" and "KECCAK-KMAC256".  This is used by EVP_MAC-KMAC256(7).  Using
           the   notation   from   NIST   FIPS   202   (Section   6.2),   we   have   KECCAK-KMAC-256(M, d)    =
           KECCAK[512](M || 00, d) (see the description of KMAC256 in Appendix A of NIST SP 800-185).

       SHAKE-128
           Known names are "SHAKE-128" and "SHAKE128".

       SHAKE-256
           Known names are "SHAKE-256" and "SHAKE256".

   Gettable Parameters
       This implementation supports the common gettable parameters described in EVP_MD-common(7).

   Settable Context Parameters
       These  implementations  support  the  following  OSSL_PARAM(3)  entries,  settable for an EVP_MD_CTX with
       EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(3):

       "xoflen" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_XOFLEN) <unsigned integer>
           Sets the digest length for extendable output functions.  The length of the "xoflen" parameter  should
           not exceed that of a size_t.

           For  backwards  compatibility  reasons  the  default  xoflen length for SHAKE-128 is 16 (bytes) which
           results in a security strength of only 64 bits. To ensure the maximum security strength of 128  bits,
           the xoflen should be set to at least 32.

           For  backwards  compatibility  reasons  the  default  xoflen length for SHAKE-256 is 32 (bytes) which
           results in a security strength of only 128 bits. To ensure the maximum security strength of 256 bits,
           the xoflen should be set to at least 64.

           This parameter may be used when calling either EVP_DigestFinal_ex() or EVP_DigestFinal(), since these
           functions were not designed to handle variable  length  output.  It  is  recommended  to  either  use
           EVP_DigestSqueeze() or EVP_DigestFinalXOF() instead.

NOTES

       For  SHAKE-128,  to  ensure  the  maximum  security  strength  of  128  bits, the output length passed to
       EVP_DigestFinalXOF() should be at least 32.

       For SHAKE-256, to ensure the maximum  security  strength  of  256  bits,  the  output  length  passed  to
       EVP_DigestFinalXOF() should be at least 64.
