Overview

eSi-SHA3 is area-efficient hardware accelerator core for the SHA3 and SHAKE cryptographic hashing algorithms compliant with the NIST FIPS 202 standard.


SHA3, is a cryptographic hash function, utilizes the KeccaK sponge construction to resist attacks and supports variable output lengths.

SHAKE, derived from SHA-3, is an extendable-output function, crucial in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), allowing variable-length hash values.

Both SHA-3 and SHAKE offer flexibility and robustness to meet the challenges posed by evolving computational capabilities in the realm of PQC.
