NAME

6       EVP_blake2b512, EVP_blake2s256 - BLAKE2 For EVP
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/evp.h>
10
11        const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2b512(void);
12        const EVP_MD *EVP_blake2s256(void);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       BLAKE2 is an improved version of BLAKE, which was submitted to the NIST
16       SHA-3 algorithm competition. The BLAKE2s and BLAKE2b algorithms are
17       described in RFC 7693.
18
19       EVP_blake2s256()
20           The BLAKE2s algorithm that produces a 256-bit output from a given
21           input.
22
23       EVP_blake2b512()
24           The BLAKE2b algorithm that produces a 512-bit output from a given
25           input.
26

RETURN VALUES

28       These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
29       implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
30       details of the EVP_MD structure.
31

CONFORMING TO

33       RFC 7693.
34

NOTES

36       While the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s algorithms supports a variable length
37       digest, this implementation outputs a digest of a fixed length (the
38       maximum length supported), which is 512-bits for BLAKE2b and 256-bits
39       for BLAKE2s.
