Shake: Extendable-Output Functions (XOFs)

SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 are Extendable-Output Functions (XOFs) defined in the SHA-3 standard (FIPS 202). Unlike traditional hash functions that produce a fixed-length digest (e.g., 256 bits), XOFs can produce an output of any desired length.

This flexibility makes them incredibly useful for applications requiring variable-length output, such as generating keys, masks, or random numbers from a seed.

Key Differences:

SHAKE128: Provides a security level of 128 bits.
SHAKE256: Provides a security level of 256 bits.
Versatility: Can be used as a stream cipher or a key derivation function (KDF).
