TurboSHAKE256 Generator - High-Security Fast XOF
Generate TurboSHAKE256 - high-security 12-round Keccak XOF with 256-bit security.
What Is TurboSHAKE256?
TurboSHAKE256 is a high-security reduced-round XOF using 12-round Keccak-f[1600] with 512-bit capacity, combining 256-bit security with faster Keccak operations. Based on the Keccak teams draft specification, not yet standardized by NIST or IETF.
Specifications
Use Cases

How to Generate a TurboSHAKE256 hash
- Choose UTF-8, Hex, Base64, or File input mode.
- Enter text, encoded bytes, or choose a local file to process.
- Adjust the TurboSHAKE256 options if your use case requires non-default settings.
- Click Generate TurboSHAKE256 Hash and copy the result.
Example Input
Sample input:
abc
Use this sample input, then copy the generated hash from the result panel.
When Not to Use TurboSHAKE256
- Do not use a plain hash or derivation output directly as password storage without the right password-hashing construction and parameters.
