blake3

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 (Merkle tree); a PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well as a regular hash; and is a single algorithm with no variants, fast on x86-64 and also on smaller architectures.

Latest version: 1.8.7
