11 #include <openssl/evp.h>

13 const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2b512(void);
14 const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2s256(void);

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.

34=head1 NOTES
35
36Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
37calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
38L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> instead.
39See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.
40
41While the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s algorithms supports a variable length digest,
42this implementation outputs a digest of a fixed length (the maximum length
43supported), which is 512-bits for BLAKE2b and 256-bits for BLAKE2s.
44
45=head1 RETURN VALUES
46
47These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
48implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
49details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.
