New submission from DannyNiu <danny...@hotmail.com>:
The SHAKE family functions are the first formally defined XOFs (eXtensible Output Functions), previous implementations such as MGF from PKCS#1 relies on ad-hoc construction. In the current library, SHAKE-* are given digest-like interface, where their output has to be always obtained from the start; where as in reality, there exists applications that consumes such output progressively, such as deterministic key generation from fixed seed, and more specifically, as the random oracle used in Crystals-Dilithium post-quantum digital signature scheme. Therefore, I'd like developers consider adding ``shake.read(len)'' function to support IO-like consumption in hashlib. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 351084 nosy: dannyniu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IO-like interface for SHAKE-* and other XOFs. type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38017> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
