Mask Generation Functions were first proposed as part of the specification for passingpadding in the [[Optimal_asymmetric_encryption_padding|RSA-OAEP]] algorithm. The OAEP algorithm required a cryptographic hash function that could generate an output equal in size to a "data block" whose length to an arbitrarily sized input message.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2437.txt |title=RFC 2437 PKCS #1 |author=RSA Laboratories}}</ref>
