## Alternative hash\_to\_base functions {#hashtobase-alt}

The hash\_to\_base function is suitable for use with a wide range of hash functions,
including SHA-3 {{FIPS202}}, BLAKE2 {{!RFC7963}}, and others.

In some cases, however, implementors may wish to replace the HKDF-based function
defined in this section with one that uses a different pseudorandom generator,
e.g., a function based on an extendable-output function like cSHAKE {{SP.800-185}}

For example, a hash\_to\_base function based on cSHAKE might set S,
the cSHAKE customization bit string argument, to the DST value.
