FIPS 202: FIPS 202, titled “SHA-3 Standard – Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions,” specifies the Secure Hash Algorithm-3 (SHA-3) family of cryptographic hash functions. SHA-3 is a subset of cryptographic hash functions, including SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, and SHA3-512, as well as SHAKE128 and SHAKE256, which are extendable-output functions (XOFs). It is designed to provide integrity and security for digital data and is utilized as part of various security applications and protocols.
