BLAKE3

Blake3 using the official BLAKE3 c implementation.

Features

• Fast. ~2x faster than Sodium::Digest::Blake2b.
• Uses Crystal's Digest API.
• Keyed digests.
• Key derivation.
• Configurable final size.
• Streaming final output.
• Tested against official test vectors.
• Builds a blake3 c static library.

Speed

examples/blake3_hash.cr is approximately the same speed as b3sum with 1 thread or mmap disabled.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     blake3:
       github: didactic-drunk/blake3.cr
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "blake3"

digest = Digest::Blake3.new
digest.update data
p digest.final.hexstring

output_size = 1024
digest = Digest::Blake3.new(output_size)
digest.update data
p digest.final.hexstring => ...a.very.long.string...

digest = Digest::Blake3.new(key: "super secret exactly 32 byte key")
digest.update data
p digest.final.hexstring
