Exact security requirements for extendable output functions (XOF)?
In the FIPS202 document "SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions" an extendable-output functions is defined as:
An extendable-output function (XOF) is a ...

Using NIST constructions based on Keccak like cSHAKE128 for other sponges
NIST defines a lot of interesting applications of sponges in FIPS 202 and NIST SP 800-185 like the XOF cSHAKE128 or the MAC scheme KMAC.
All this schemes come with a security guarantee and are ...

Is the security of output of Skein when using arbitrary output size similar to that of SHAKE?
Let's suppose I have a 1MB high-resolution photo and I want to hash and create a 1536-bits key.
I know that I could just use SHAKE-256 as its a pre-enginered way for doing that.
There is also Skein ...
