About SHA3-224 hash

SHA3-224 Hash Description

SHA3-224 is a member of the SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3) family of cryptographic hash functions. It produces a 224-bit (28-byte) hash value, typically represented as a 56-character hexadecimal number.

How SHA3-224 Works:

  1. Padding: The input message is padded so that its length is a multiple of the block size (1152 bits for SHA3-224), leaving space for the message length.
  2. Absorbing Phase: The padded message is absorbed into the state of the hash function.
  3. Squeezing Phase: The hash function's state is repeatedly processed to produce the final hash value.

SHA3-224 uses the Keccak sponge construction and is designed to provide cryptographic security and resistance against various attacks, including collision and preimage attacks.
