BlockHashBase<BlockHashSink> const sha3_256

SHA3-256 is a member of SHA-3 family which uses 256-bit blocks to generate a message digest of 256-bit long.

SHA-3 is a subset of Keccak cryptographic family, standardized by NIST on 2015 to substitute SHA-2 if necessary. Since the algorithm uses the sponge construction, it can generate any arbitrary length of message digest. This implementation generates a 256-bit output using the standard SHA-3 algorithm.

Implementation

const BlockHashBase sha3_256 = _SHA3d256();
