top | item 34008566 (no title) fstanis | 3 years ago IIUC, SHA-3 isn't actually better in any known way, it's just meant to be a vastly different algorithm so we'd have an alternative to the other ones. discuss order hn newest 15155|3 years ago SHA-3 doesn't use addition: from a hardware implementation standpoint this is a huge, huge advantage because there's no carry propagation delay.SHA-3 is by far and away the most elegant modern cryptographic hash algorithm. LawTalkingGuy|3 years ago It's conceptually a lot different not just internally but in that it's equivalent to an automatically finalized hash and could eliminate a class of accidental misuse. Taek|3 years ago sha3 is a lot more power efficient when implemented in hardware, which is nice when you have an IoT device that needs to do a lot of hashing.It will also be really nice on amd_64 CPUs for doing large amounts of hashing if they ever get a sha3 instruction.That said, hashing is rarely your bottleneck so there's not much urgency.
