Well. Just when you thought that symmetric key encryption was all about AES and ChaCha20, message signing (MAC) was all about HMAC, and that hashing was all about MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256, Keccak comes along and shows the world a new direction. While designed for the NIST SHA-3 standard — and to produce a strong hashing method — Keccak has the potential to…
