From: knu@... Date: 2019-09-02T05:58:37+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:94723] [Ruby master Feature#12802] Add BLAKE2 support to Digest Issue #12802 has been updated by knu (Akinori MUSHA). I feel a bit reluctant to have an implementation in our source tree and keep maintaining it when there's almost always a better implementation available in OpenSSL::Digest when you need one. Here are some examples of Digest gems I wrote, so why not start with a gem and see if there are enough amount of users out there? https://github.com/knu/ruby-digest-whirlpool https://github.com/knu/ruby-digest-tiger ---------------------------------------- Feature #12802: Add BLAKE2 support to Digest https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12802#change-81339 * 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:
