NAME
EVP_MD-BLAKE2 - The BLAKE2 EVP_MD implementation
DESCRIPTION
Support for computing BLAKE2 digests through the EVP_MD API.
Identities
This implementation is only available with the default provider, and includes the following varieties:
- BLAKE2S-256
Known names are "BLAKE2S-256" and "BLAKE2s256".
- BLAKE2B-512
Known names are "BLAKE2B-512" and "BLAKE2b512".
Settable Parameters
"BLAKE2B-512" supports the following EVP_MD_CTX_set_params() key described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_DigestInit(3).
- "size" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
Gettable Parameters
This implementation supports the common gettable parameters described in EVP_MD-common(7).
Settable Context Parameters
The implementation supports the following OSSL_PARAM(3) entries which are settable for an EVP_MD_CTX with EVP_DigestInit_ex2(3) or EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(3):
- "size" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
Sets a different digest length for the EVP_DigestFinal(3) output. The value of the "size" parameter must not exceed the default digest length of the respective BLAKE2 algorithm variants, 64 for BLAKE2B-512 and 32 for BLAKE2S-256. The parameter must be set with the EVP_DigestInit_ex2(3) call to have an immediate effect. When set with EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(3) it will have an effect only if the EVP_MD_CTX context is reinitialized.

HISTORY
This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
The variable size support was added in OpenSSL 3.2 for BLAKE2B-512 and in OpenSSL 3.3 for BLAKE2S-256.
