EVP_blake2b512(3)                   OpenSSL                  EVP_blake2b512(3)




NAME

       EVP_blake2b512, EVP_blake2s256 - BLAKE2 For EVP


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/evp.h>

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


DESCRIPTION

       BLAKE2 is an improved version of BLAKE, which was submitted to the NIST
       SHA-3 algorithm competition. The BLAKE2s and BLAKE2b algorithms are
       described in RFC 7693.

       EVP_blake2s256()
           The BLAKE2s algorithm that produces a 256-bit output from a given
           input.

       EVP_blake2b512()
           The BLAKE2b algorithm that produces a 512-bit output from a given
           input.


NOTES

       Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
       calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
       EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-BLAKE2(7) instead.  See "Performance" in
       crypto(7) for further information.

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


RETURN VALUES

       These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the
       implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
       details of the EVP_MD structure.


CONFORMING TO

       RFC 7693.
