💖 EVP_MD-SHA3 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the EVP_MD-SHA3 page — it's part of the OpenSSL manual, section 7SSL, and it's literally all about the SHA3 EVP_MD implementations. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_MD-SHA3 — the SHA3 EVP_MD implementations. that's it, that's the name, iconic behavior 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does this actually do? it's the support for computing SHA3 digests through the EVP_MD API. periodt. that's the whole vibe 🦋

👑 Identities

this implementation is available with the FIPS provider as well as the default provider — both of them, slay — and it includes the following varieties:

  • "SHA3-224"
  • "SHA3-256"
  • "SHA3-384"
  • "SHA3-512"

four of them. a whole little squad. pick your fighter ✨

🎀 Gettable Parameters

this implementation supports all the common gettable parameters — the ones described over in EVP_MD-common(7). nothing extra, nothing missing, we stay consistent 💖
