File to Keccak 384 Hash Generator

Introduction

The Keccak 384 Hash Generator is a free and open-source online tool designed to create secure hash values for text input. This tool is particularly useful for developers, security professionals, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who need to perform data integrity checks or verify hash values.

How to Use

  1. Upload File: In the text area provided, enter the text you want to hash.

  2. Generate Hash: Click the "Generate Hash" button to create the Keccak 384 hash of your input.

  3. View Result: The generated hash will appear in a read-only input field below the buttons.

  4. Copy Hash: To copy the generated hash, click the "Copy" button next to the hash value.

  5. Clear Input: If you want to start over, click the "Clear" button to remove both the input text and any generated hash.

Features

  • Real-time Hashing: The hash is generated instantly when you click the button.
  • Copy to Clipboard: Easily copy the generated hash with a single click.
  • Clear Functionality: Quickly clear both input and output fields.
  • Responsive Design: Works well on both desktop and mobile devices.

Technical Details

  • The Keccak 384 algorithm is implemented using the @noble/hashes library.
  • The tool uses React for the user interface and Next.js for server-side rendering.
  • All hashing is performed client-side for enhanced security and privacy.

Use Cases

  • Verifying file integrity
  • Creating unique identifiers for data
  • Password hashing (Note: For actual password storage, use specialized password hashing functions)
  • Blockchain and cryptocurrency applications

Security Considerations

While Keccak 384 is a strong cryptographic hash function, it's important to note that:

  • This tool is for general-purpose hashing and should not be used for sensitive applications without proper security review.
  • For password storage, specialized algorithms like bcrypt or Argon2 are recommended instead of Keccak 384.
