Looking for a keccak-256 hash function / class in ruby?

Hello,

    for my little crypto-lite gem / library project [1] I am trying to
include the keccak-256 hash function (used by ethereum, for example).

  Any tips or recommendations more than welcome.

Thanks. Cheers. Prosit 2021!

Hello,

GitHub - johanns/sha3: SHA3 for Ruby is a XKCP based native (C) binding to SHA3 (FIPS 202) cryptographic hashing algorithm

   thanks for highlighting the sha3 gem.
Sorry for the confusion I am looking for the "original" keccak
hashing algorithm
as used by Ethereum and others.

To quote:

  NIST changed the padding to SHA3-256(M) = KECCAK [512] (M || 01, 256).
  This was different from the padding proposed by the Keccak team in
  The Keccak SHA-3 submission version 3 (final, winning version).
  The difference is the additional '01' bits appended to the message.
  People are now calling the "submitted version 3" SHA-3 Keccak hashing "Keccak"
   and the finalized NIST SHA-3 standard "SHA-3".

   I tried the sha3 gem:

require 'sha3'

p SHA3::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest("")
p SHA3::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest("testing")

resulting in:

"a7ffc6f8bf1ed76651c14756a061d662f580ff4de43b49fa82d80a4b80f8434a"
"7f5979fb78f082e8b1c676635db8795c4ac6faba03525fb708cb5fd68fd40c5e"

but I would expect:

"c5d2460186f7233c927e7db2dcc703c0e500b653ca82273b7bfad8045d85a470"
"5f16f4c7f149ac4f9510d9cf8cf384038ad348b3bcdc01915f95de12df9d1b02"

  So sorry the sha3 gem is a FIPS 202 compliant implementation of SHA3
  that I can unfortunately not use in this case.

  Any other tips or recommendations more than welcome.

  Cheers. Prost.
