Well SHA-3 is a hash function, and indeed somewhat slow in software. But the team have since enormously expanded the primitives based on the same core design, with much better performance: https://keccak.team/sw_performance.html https://keccak.team/sw_performance.html You can also look at things like the Strobe framework, which builds essentially all of its symmetric crypto out of the SHA-3 core permutation: https://strobe.sourceforge.io/ https://strobe.sourceforge.io/
