First SHA-3 Generator for Android using the algorithm Keccak. Through an input string in hexadecimal and selecting the length (in bits) of the hash output, the application calculates the output hexadecimal string.
On 2nd October 2012 the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in the United States of America announced the new hashing algorithm which will be adopted as standard from now on. Among a total of 73 candidates, the winner was Keccak, designed by a group of cryptographers from Belgium and Italy. The public selection of a new standard of cryptographic hash function SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) took five years. Its object is to generate a hash a fixed size from a pattern with arbitrary length. The first selection on behalf of NIST on a standard of this family took place in 1993 when SHA-1 was chosen, which later on was replaced by SHA-2.
