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".

   Parameters
       This implementation supports the following OSSL_PARAM(3) entries:

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

           The SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 implementations do not have any default digest length.

           This  parameter  must  be  set before 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.

       "size" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
           An alias of "xoflen".

       See "PARAMETERS" in EVP_DigestInit(3) for further information related to parameters

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.

HISTORY

       Since OpenSSL 3.4 the SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 implementations have no default digest length.
