Document Summary

Discuss some advantages of using sha-3 with iot sensors. The main advantages of using sha-3 with iot sensors is that it provides strong security, efficient security, and cost-effective security. Keccak cryptographic function which is a structure that uses sponge construction to represent a class of algorithms that take an input bit stream of any length to produce an output bit stream of any length. This is what the foundation for what makes sha-3 strong in security because its intricate and multi-round permutation. Sha-3 is known to efficiently implement in silicon, making it most cost effective in comparison to other software"s. Also, sha-3 is known to be used to secure embedded subsystems, sensors, electronic devices, and other types of systems that use symmetric key-based message authentication codes. Sha-3 is useful in its algorithm, where it is faster than its predecessors.
