Issue #12802 has been updated by ioquatix (Samuel Williams). Wondering if we can review this again? ---------------------------------------- Feature #12802: Add BLAKE2 support to Digest https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12802#change-79373 * Author: bascule (Tony Arcieri) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- BLAKE2 is a fast, modern hash function, based on improvements to the BLAKE function, which was a SHA3 finalist. BLAKE2 performs about twice as fast in software as SHA3 winner Keccak: https://blake2.net/ BLAKE2 has received an informational RFC 7693 from the IETF: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7693 It was added to the Python standard library in Python 3.6: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/hashlib-blake2.html If there's interest in supporting BLAKE2 in the Ruby standard library, I can put together a patch. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request@ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
