Russian national hash function (GOST R 34.11-2012, RFC 6986). 512-bit internal state processed through 12 rounds of a Kuznyechik-family SPN in a Miyaguchi-Preneel-like compression function, with a unique checksum-based finalization step.
Secure Hash Algorithm 2. Produces a unique 256-bit hash output representing the input message.
SHA-3 finalist. HAIFA construction with AES-based compression and counter injection. Prevents length-extension attacks. SHAvite-3-256 and SHAvite-3-512 variants.
