Digest::SHA3 version 0.24 ========================= Digest::SHA3 is a complete implementation of the NIST SHA-3 cryptographic hash function, known originally as Keccak. It gives Perl programmers a convenient way to calculate SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, and SHA3-512 message digests, as well as variable-length hashes using SHAKE128 and SHAKE256. The module can handle all types of input, including partial-byte data. Digest::SHA3 is written in C for speed. If your platform lacks a C compiler, perhaps you can find the module in a binary form compatible with your particular processor and operating system. The initial version of Digest::SHA3 was written to emphasize simplicity and correctness. It passed all known-answer-tests for short and long messages. No particular emphasis was placed on performance. However, as the SHA-3 standard matures and achieves 'final' status, versions of this module will endeavor to perform on a par with optimized portable implementations. The module omits all HMAC-SHA-3 functions until such time as official test vectors become available. The tests subdirectory (t/*.t) contains a set of test vectors compiled from both official and informal sources.
