SHA-3 is a new cryptographic hash function. The goal of the project is to provide basic SHA-3 support for NSS.  On top of that, we plan to incorporate Sakura, a generic method proposed for tree based hashing and the two XOF functions (SHAKE-128 and 256) into the NSS module allowing the user to customize their hashes as well.
