.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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.
.IP \fBEVP_blake2s256()\fR 4
.IX Item "EVP_blake2s256()"
The BLAKE2s algorithm that produces a 256\-bit output from a given input.
.IP \fBEVP_blake2b512()\fR 4
.IX Item "EVP_blake2b512()"
The BLAKE2b algorithm that produces a 512\-bit output from a given input.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling these functions multiple times and should consider using
\&\fBEVP_MD_fetch\fR\|(3) with \fBEVP_MD\-BLAKE2\fR\|(7) instead.
See "Performance" in \fBcrypto\fR\|(7) for further information.
.PP
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.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
These functions return a \fBEVP_MD\fR structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See \fBEVP_MD_meth_new\fR\|(3) for
details of the \fBEVP_MD\fR structure.
