This document describes the cryptographic hash function BLAKE2 and
makes the algorithm specification and C source code conveniently
available to the Internet community. BLAKE2 comes in two main
flavors: BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms and BLAKE2s for
smaller architectures. BLAKE2 can be directly keyed, making it
functionally equivalent to a Message Authentication Code (MAC).
