Keccak
| Keccak is a cryptographic algorithm that can also be referred to as SHA-3. It is a permutation-based hash function that is used in the field of cryptography. The algorithm was designed by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters, and Gilles Van Assche. The Keccak algorithm is based on the sponge construction. This construction allows the algorithm to have a variable output size, which makes it more versatile than other hash functions. The Keccak algorithm is also resistant to collision attacks and second-preimage attacks. |
