Crate blake2b_simd

An implementation of the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2bp hash functions. See also blake2s_simd.

This crate includes:

• 100% stable Rust.
• SIMD implementations based on Samuel Neves’ blake2-avx2. These are very fast. For benchmarks, see the Performance section of the README.
• Portable, safe implementations for other platforms.
• Dynamic CPU feature detection. Binaries include multiple implementations by default and choose the fastest one the processor supports at runtime.
• All the features from the the BLAKE2 spec, like adjustable length, keying, and associated data for tree hashing.
• no_std support. The std Cargo feature is on by default, for CPU feature detection and for implementing std::io::Write.
• Support for computing multiple BLAKE2b hashes in parallel, matching the efficiency of BLAKE2bp. See the many module.

Example

use blake2b_simd::{blake2b, Params};

let expected = "ca002330e69d3e6b84a46a56a6533fd79d51d97a3bb7cad6c2ff43b354185d6d\
                c1e723fb3db4ae0737e120378424c714bb982d9dc5bbd7a0ab318240ddd18f8d";
let hash = blake2b(b"foo");
assert_eq!(expected, &hash.to_hex());

let hash = Params::new()
    .hash_length(16)
    .key(b"The Magic Words are Squeamish Ossifrage")
    .personal(b"L. P. Waterhouse")
    .to_state()
    .update(b"foo")
    .update(b"bar")
    .update(b"baz")
    .finalize();
assert_eq!("ee8ff4e9be887297cf79348dc35dab56", &hash.to_hex());

Modules

blake2bp

BLAKE2bp, a variant of BLAKE2b that uses SIMD more efficiently.

many

Interfaces for hashing multiple inputs at once, using SIMD more efficiently.

Structs

Hash

A finalized BLAKE2 hash, with constant-time equality.

Params

A parameter builder that exposes all the non-default BLAKE2 features.

State

An incremental hasher for BLAKE2b.

Constants

BLOCKBYTES

The number input bytes passed to each call to the compression function. Small benchmarks need to use an even multiple of BLOCKBYTES, or else their apparent throughput will be low.

KEYBYTES

The max key length.

OUTBYTES

The max hash length.

PERSONALBYTES

The max personalization length.

SALTBYTES

The max salt length.

Functions

blake2b

Compute the BLAKE2b hash of a slice of bytes all at once, using default parameters.
