The Keccak Hash Engine serves as a cornerstone for cryptographic functions, primarily recognized for its hashing capabilities. However, its utility extends significantly into domains requiring authenticated encryption and pseudo-random number generation. Built upon the innovative sponge construction and leveraging the Keccak-f cryptographic permutation, the Keccak Hash Engine provides unmatched configurability and adaptability.
Its extensive standardization under 3GPP TS 35.231 for mobile telephony (TUAK) and NIST's FIPS 202 and SP 800-185, emphasizes its flexibility. The IP core is engineered to function within a single clock domain, allowing for seamless integration and extensive verification to meet industry standards. Its ability to support different output lengths and security levels positions it as a versatile tool across various applications.
Keccak Hash's scope of application is diverse, encompassing hash functions, authenticated encryption, secure communication protocols, pseudo-random number generation, and blockchain technology. Its adaptability and robust construction make it an integral component in safeguarding digital data.
