9=head1 SYNOPSIS
10
11 #include <openssl/evp.h>
12
13 const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2b512(void);
14 const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2s256(void);
15
16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18BLAKE2 is an improved version of BLAKE, which was submitted to the NIST SHA-3
19algorithm competition. The BLAKE2s and BLAKE2b algorithms are described in
20RFC 7693.
21
22=over 4
23
24=item EVP_blake2s256()
25
26The BLAKE2s algorithm that produces a 256-bit output from a given input.
27
28=item EVP_blake2b512()
29
30The BLAKE2b algorithm that produces a 512-bit output from a given input.

33
34=head1 RETURN VALUES
35
36These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
37implementation of the symmetric cipher. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
38details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
39
40=head1 CONFORMING TO
41
42RFC 7693.
43
44=head1 NOTES
45
46While the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s algorithms supports a variable length digest,
47this implementation outputs a digest of a fixed length (the maximum length
48supported), which is 512-bits for BLAKE2b and 256-bits for BLAKE2s.
