Browsing Concept: Sponge Function

A sponge function is a computational method which is able to digest as much input as needed, while producing a fixed size output. Input can be of any arbitrary size, from one byte to terabytes of data. For example, a SHA256 hashing function is a sponge function that takes in an arbitrary amount of input data and always produces a single 256 bit output.
