About SHA3-512 hash

SHA3-512 Hash Description

SHA3-512 is a member of the SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3) family of cryptographic hash functions. It produces a 512-bit (64-byte) hash value, typically represented as a 128-character hexadecimal number.

How SHA3-512 Works:

  1. Padding: The input message is padded so that its length is a multiple of the block size (576 bits for SHA3-512), 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.

SHA3-512 uses the Keccak sponge construction and is designed to provide cryptographic security and resistance against various attacks, including collision and preimage attacks.
