+# A Node.js C++ extension for SHA-3 (Keccak)
+
+This Node.js extension implements the SHA-3 ([Keccak](http://keccak.noekeon.org/)) cryptographic hashing algorithm. It is based on the reference C implementation, version 3.2. The exposed interface is almost identical to that of the `crypto` standard library.
+
+## Installation
+
+TODO
+
+## Usage
+
+Keccak supports 5 hash lengths: 224-bit, 256-bit, 384-bit, 512-bit and variable length. Variable length is not supported by this Node.js extension. Unless the user specifies otherwise, this Node.js extension assumes 512-bit.
+
+    var SHA3 = require('sha3');
+
+    // Generate 512-bit digest.
+    var d = new SHA3.SHA3Hash();
+    d.update('foo');
+    d.digest('hex');   // => "1597842a..."
+
+    // Generate 224-bit digest.
+    var d = new SHA3.SHA3Hash(224);
+    d.update('foo');
+    d.digest('hex');   // => "daa94da7..."
+
+### new SHA3Hash([hashlen])
+
+This is the hash object. `hashlen` is 512 by default.
+
+### hash.update(data, [input_encoding])
+
+Updates the hash content with the given data, the encoding of which is given in `input_encoding` and can be `'utf8'`, `'ascii'` or `'binary'`. Defaults to `'binary'`. This can be called many times with new data as it is streamed.
+
+### hash.digest([encoding])
+
+Calculates the digest of all of the passed data to be hashed. The encoding can be `'hex'` or `'binary'`. Defaults to `'binary'`.
+
+Note: unlike `crypto.Hash`, a `SHA3Hash` object _can_ still be used after the `digest()` method been called.
+
+## Warning
+
+Do not use SHA-3 for hashing passwords. Do not even use SHA-3 + salt for hashing passowords. Use a [slow hash](http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/) instead.
