Skein-1024
Skein-1024 is the high-security variant of Skein using Threefish-1024, with a 1024-bit state providing the maximum security margin.
Purpose
Provides a 1024-bit-state hash for extremely high security levels, outputting 1-128 byte digests.
Mechanism
Threefish-1024 (1024-bit block, 1024-bit key) built in UBI mode, 80 rounds. 64-bit word arithmetic, 1024-bit state.
Use cases
- High-security hashing
- Large digest output
- Skein high-security configuration
