SHAKE

SHAKE (SHAKE Secure Hash Algorithm KECCAK) is a cryptographic function that transforms any input data into a fixed-length string of characters, called a hash. It's designed to be secure, meaning it's very difficult to recreate the original data from the hash or find two different inputs that produce the same hash. SHAKE is part of the SHA-3 family and supports variable output lengths, making it flexible for different security needs. Its primary use is ensuring data integrity and authenticity in digital communications.
