Keccak-f[1600] Core.

Cryptographic Foundation

The Keccak-f[1600] permutation is the cryptographic core underlying all SHA-3, SHAKE, and cSHAKE operations. This implementation provides the raw 1600-bit state permutation for maximum flexibility in building higher-level constructions. By instantiating a single permutation engine, designers can serve all hash, extendable-output, and customizable XOF needs from one shared resource.

What It Delivers

• FIPS 202 Keccak-f[1600] permutation
• 1600-bit state, 24 rounds
• Combinational or pipelined variants
• Shared across all SHA-3/SHAKE-based cores

Why It Matters

• Single permutation engine serves all hash, XOF, and cSHAKE needs
• Silicon-efficient: one instantiation, many consumers
