SHA-3 Mechanisms
This section describes the PKCS#11 interface to the SHA-3 mechanisms in the HSM firmware for the digest bit lengths of 224, 256, 384 and 512.
NOTE This feature requires minimum firmware version 7.4.2 and client version 10.2.0 (or a patched client 7.4.0). You require a Luna G7 Backup HSM with minimum firmware 7.7.1 to back up these objects. See Version Dependencies by Feature for more information.

Digest Mechanisms
| Mechanism Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SHA-3 |
The following mechanisms for performing a SHA-3 hash have been added: >CKM_SHA3_224 >CKM_SHA3_256 >CKM_SHA3_384 >CKM_SHA3_512 |
| SHAKE |
The following mechanisms for performing a SHAKE XOF have been added: >CKM_SHAKE_128 >CKM_SHAKE_256 These mechanisms require a CK_SHAKE_PARAMS mechanism parameters structure defined as follows:
typedef struct CK_SHAKE_PARAMS {
CK_ULONG ulOutputLen;
} CK_SHAKE_PARAMS
The output length of the digest can be specified using the ulOutputLen field with a maximum value of 2048. |
| KECCAK |
There are variants of the SHA-3 mechanisms that are included for compatibility with implementations that preceded the publication of FIPS PUB 202 where there is a difference in a single padding byte. These mechanisms are: >CKM_KECCAK_224 >CKM_KECCAK_256 >CKM_KECCAK_384 >CKM_KECCAK_512 |
HMAC Mechanisms
The following mechanisms for performing an HMAC with SHA-3 have been added:
>CKM_SHA3_224_HMAC
>CKM_SHA3_224_HMAC_GENERAL
>CKM_SHA3_256_HMAC
>CKM_SHA3_256_HMAC_GENERAL
>CKM_SHA3_384_HMAC
