+# The SHA-3 (Keccak) extension for Ruby
+
+This Ruby extension implements the SHA-3 (Keccak) cryptographic hashing algorithm. It is based on the reference C implementation, version 3.2. The exposed interface is almost identical to that of the `digest` standard library.
+
+## Installation
+
+    gem install digest-sha3
+
+## Usage
+
+Keccak supports 5 hash lengths: 224-bit, 256-bit, 384-bit, 512-bit and variable length. Variable length is not supported by this Ruby extension. Unless the user specifies otherwise, this Ruby extension assumes 512-bit.
+
+    require 'digest/sha3'
+
+    # Generate 512-bit digest.
+    Digest::SHA3.digest("foo")       # => "\025\227\204*..."
+    Digest::SHA3.hexdigest("foo")    # => "1597842a..."
+
+    # Generate 224-bit digest.
+    Digest::SHA3.digest("foo", 224)       # => "\332\251M\247..."
+    Digest::SHA3.hexdigest("foo", 224)    # => "daa94da7..."
+
+    # Use this interface to feed data in chunks. 512-bit by default.
+    digest = Digest::SHA3.new
+    digest.update("f")
+    digest.update("o")
+    digest.update("o")
+    digest.digest       # => "\025\227\204*..."
+    digest.hexdigest    # => "1597842a..."
+
+    # You can pass a hash length to the constructor.
+    digest = Digest::SHA3.new(224)
