Remarks
This is a fully managed implementation of KMAC based on the Keccak sponge construction. It does not rely on OS or hardware cryptographic APIs, ensuring deterministic behavior across all platforms and runtimes.
KMAC is a MAC function based on Keccak (cSHAKE) defined in NIST SP 800-185. It supports variable-length output and can be used as both a traditional MAC (fixed output length) or as a pseudorandom function (XOF mode with arbitrary output length).
Methods
Absorb(ReadOnlySpan<byte>)
Absorbs input data into the XOF state.
public void Absorb(ReadOnlySpan<byte> input)
Parameters
inputReadOnlySpan<byte>The input data to absorb.
Exceptions
- InvalidOperationException
Thrown when data is added after output has been squeezed.
Dispose(bool)
Releases the unmanaged resources used by the HashAlgorithm and optionally releases the managed resources.
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
Parameters
disposingbooltrue to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.
HashCore(ReadOnlySpan<byte>)
When overridden in a derived class, routes data written to the object into the hash algorithm for computing the hash.
protected override void HashCore(ReadOnlySpan<byte> source)
Parameters
sourceReadOnlySpan<byte>The input to compute the hash code for.
Exceptions
- ObjectDisposedException
Thrown when the instance has been disposed.
Initialize()
Initializes an implementation of the HashAlgorithm class.
public override void Initialize()
Exceptions
- ObjectDisposedException
Thrown when the instance has been disposed.
Reset()
Resets the XOF state so the instance can be reused for a new computation.
public void Reset()
Remarks
After calling this method, the instance is in the same state as a newly constructed one. All previously absorbed data and squeezed output are discarded.
Squeeze(Span<byte>)
Finalizes the MAC computation and squeezes output bytes.
public void Squeeze(Span<byte> output)
Parameters
Exceptions
- ObjectDisposedException
Thrown when the instance has been disposed.
TryHashFinal(Span<byte>, out int)
When overridden in a derived class, finalizes the hash computation and writes the result into the provided buffer.
protected override bool TryHashFinal(Span<byte> destination, out int bytesWritten)
Parameters
destinationSpan<byte>The target buffer to write the hash to.
bytesWrittenintThe number of bytes written into the buffer.
