# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| blake3: blake3 (BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function) blake3: blake3: BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function that is: blake3: Much faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and BLAKE2. Secure, unlike blake3: MD5 and SHA-1. And secure against length extension, unlike SHA-2. blake3: Highly parallelizable across any number of threads and SIMD lanes, blake3: because it's a Merkle tree on the inside. Capable of verified blake3: streaming and incremental updates. A PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well blake3: as a regular hash. One algorithm with no variants, which is fast on blake3: x86_64 and also on smaller architectures. blake3: Homepage: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3
