SHAKE Encryption

If the unit is bytes, fill in the number of bytes (e.g. 32) → output 32 bytes; if the unit is bits, fill in the number of bits (e.g. 256).

📖 Description

1. What is the SHAKE Algorithm?

SHAKE (Secure Hash Algorithm Keccak) is based on the Keccak sponge construction and belongs to the category of Extendable-Output Functions (XOF):


2. Core Features Explained

This site's tool provides a standardized SHAKE calculation environment to meet diverse development needs:

A. SHAKE128 & SHAKE256 Dual-Mode Support
B. Custom Output Length
C. String and Hexadecimal Input
D. Privacy Protection (Local Computation)

3. Application Scenarios Reference

Application Area Why Use SHAKE? Example
Key Derivation (KDF) Need to generate multiple keys of different lengths from a seed. Deriving an AES key and IV from a single seed.
Post-Quantum Signatures Modern post-quantum cryptography (e.g., Dilithium) heavily uses SHAKE. Generating random challenge values in signature schemes.
Data Padding Need to expand short data to a specific length. Generating masks in asymmetric encryption.
Hash Comparison Replacing traditional SHA-3 to obtain a specific digest length. Generating a 160-bit digest to save storage space.

4. Operation Process Overview

  1. Input Original Text: Paste the text or Hex-encoded data you need to process into the input box.
  2. Select Algorithm: Choose SHAKE128 or SHAKE256.
  3. Specify Output Length: Enter a value in the "Output Length" box (units optional: Bytes/Bits).
  4. Get Results Instantly: The result box will automatically display the hash string in hexadecimal format.
  5. Format Adjustment: Toggle the case of the result with one click.
  6. One-Click Copy: Quickly save the calculated variable-length fingerprint.
