<h1 id="NAME">NAME</h1>

<p>EVP_MD-SHAKE, EVP_MD-KECCAK-KMAC - The SHAKE / KECCAK family EVP_MD implementations</p>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>Support for computing SHAKE or KECCAK-KMAC digests through the <b>EVP_MD</b> API.</p>

<p>KECCAK-KMAC is an Extendable Output Function (XOF), with a definition similar to SHAKE, used by the KMAC EVP_MAC implementation (see <a href="../man7/EVP_MAC-KMAC.html">EVP_MAC-KMAC(7)</a>).</p>

<h2 id="Identities">Identities</h2>

<p>This implementation is available in the FIPS provider as well as the default provider, and includes the following varieties:</p>

<dl>

<dt id="KECCAK-KMAC-128">KECCAK-KMAC-128</dt>
<dd>

<p>Known names are &quot;KECCAK-KMAC-128&quot; and &quot;KECCAK-KMAC128&quot;. This is used by <a href="../man7/EVP_MAC-KMAC128.html">EVP_MAC-KMAC128(7)</a>. Using the notation from NIST FIPS 202 (Section 6.2), we have <span style="white-space: nowrap;">KECCAK-KMAC-128(M, d)</span> = <span style="white-space: nowrap;">KECCAK[256](M || 00, d)</span> (see the description of KMAC128 in Appendix A of NIST SP 800-185).</p>

</dd>
<dt id="KECCAK-KMAC-256">KECCAK-KMAC-256</dt>
<dd>

<p>Known names are &quot;KECCAK-KMAC-256&quot; and &quot;KECCAK-KMAC256&quot;. This is used by <a href="../man7/EVP_MAC-KMAC256.html">EVP_MAC-KMAC256(7)</a>. Using the notation from NIST FIPS 202 (Section 6.2), we have <span style="white-space: nowrap;">KECCAK-KMAC-256(M, d)</span> = <span style="white-space: nowrap;">KECCAK[512](M || 00, d)</span> (see the description of KMAC256 in Appendix A of NIST SP 800-185).</p>

</dd>
<dt id="SHAKE-128">SHAKE-128</dt>

<dd>

<p>Known names are &quot;SHAKE-256&quot; and &quot;SHAKE256&quot;.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="Parameters">Parameters</h2>

<p>This implementation supports the following <a href="../man3/OSSL_PARAM.html">OSSL_PARAM(3)</a> entries:</p>

<dl>

<dt id="xoflen-OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_XOFLEN-unsigned-integer">&quot;xoflen&quot; (<b>OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_XOFLEN</b>) &lt;unsigned integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>

<p>Sets or Gets the digest length for extendable output functions. The length of the &quot;xoflen&quot; parameter should not exceed that of a <b>size_t</b>.</p>

<p>The SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 implementations do not have any default digest length.</p>

<p>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.</p>

</dd>
<dt id="size-OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE-unsigned-integer">&quot;size&quot; (<b>OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE</b>) &lt;unsigned integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>

<p>An alias of &quot;xoflen&quot;.</p>

</dd>
</dl>

<p>See <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestInit.html">&quot;PARAMETERS&quot; in EVP_DigestInit(3)</a> for further information related to parameters</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

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

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

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

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