'''Extendable-output function''' ('''XOF''') is a variant of the [[cryptographic hash]] that allows its output to be arbitrarily long. In particular, the nature of the [[sponge construction]] makes a [[sponge hash]] a natural XOF (the regular hash functions with a fixed-size result are obtained from a sponge mechanism by stopping the squeezing phase after obtaining the fixed number of bits).{{sfn | Mittelbach | Fischlin | 2021 | p=526}}
