Issue #12802 has been updated by Tony Arcieri. Nice @ SHA-3 branch. I think it makes sense to add both. The reason to add BLAKE2 in addition to SHA-3 is that BLAKE2 is, in some cases, over 3X faster than SHA-3 at an equivalent security level: https://blake2.net/sandy.png BLAKE2b on a modern Intel CPU is even faster than MD5, but provides substantially better security. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12802: Add BLAKE2 support to Digest https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12802#change-61118 * Author: Tony Arcieri * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- 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:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
