Available Packages
Name : blake3
Version : 1.5.0
Release : 1.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 38 k
Source : blake3-1.5.0-1.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Official C implementation of the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function
URL : https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/
License : Apache-2.0
Description : BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function that is:
: - Much faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and BLAKE2.
: - Secure, unlike MD5 and SHA-1. And secure against length extension, unlike
: SHA-2.
: - Highly parallelizable across any number of threads and SIMD lanes, because
: it's a Merkle tree on the inside.
: - Capable of verified streaming and incremental updates, again because it's a
: Merkle tree.
: - A PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well as a regular hash.
: - One algorithm with no variants, which is fast on x86-64 and also on smaller
: architectures.
