I am studying at night graduate school.
While studying the cryptographic hash function, I found information that the speed of the SHA3 hash function is faster than the speed of the SHA2 hash function.
So, using JMH benchmarking in actual JAVA, I tried to compare the performance of SHA512/256 of SHA2 and SHAKE256 of SHA3 series, but there doesn't seem to be much difference than I thought.
The library I used and the source code I wrote are as follows.
- SHA512-256
import java.security.MessageDigest;
public static byte[] digest(byte[] data) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
{
CryptoProvider.setupIfNeeded();
java.security.MessageDigest digest = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA512/256");
digest.update(Arrays.copyOf(data, data.length));
return digest.digest();
}
- SHAKE256 (use 2 methods)
import org.bouncycastle.crypto.digests.SHAKEDigest;
public static byte[] shakeDigest(byte[] data, int returnLength) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
{
CryptoProvider.setupIfNeeded();
SHAKEDigest digest = new SHAKEDigest(256);
byte[] hashBytes = new byte[returnLength];
digest.update(data, 0, data.length);
digest.doFinal(hashBytes, 0);
digest.reset();
return Arrays.copyOf(hashBytes, returnLength);
}
import com.github.aelstad.keccakj.fips202.Shake256;
public static byte[] shakeDigest2(byte[] data, int returnLength) throws Exception
{
CryptoProvider.setupIfNeeded();
Shake256 digest = new Shake256();
digest.getAbsorbStream().write(data);
byte[] hashBytes = new byte[returnLength];
digest.getSqueezeStream().read(hashBytes);
digest.reset();
return Arrays.copyOf(hashBytes, returnLength);
}
I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or if there exists a SHAKE256 library that's closer to perfection than the one I used.
Please help. Thank you.
