Method Nettle.SHA3_256()->shake()

Method shake

string(8bit) shake(string(8bit) in, int(0..) bytes)

Description

SHAKE-256 hash. Works as a (faster) shortcut for SHA3_256.State()->update(in)->shake(bytes).

This function is similar to hash(), but can return an arbitrary number of bytes. When bytes is digest_size the security is equivalent to that of hash(), albeit the output is different.
