=head1 NAME
EVP_MD-BLAKE2 - The BLAKE2 EVP_MD implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for computing BLAKE2 digests through the B<EVP_MD> API.
=head2 Identities
This implementation is only available with the default provider, and
includes the following varieties:
=over 4
=item BLAKE2S-256
Known names are "BLAKE2S-256" and "BLAKE2s256".
=item BLAKE2B-512
Known names are "BLAKE2B-512" and "BLAKE2b512".
=back
=head2 Settable Parameters
"BLAKE2B-512" supports the following EVP_MD_CTX_set_params() key
described in L<EVP_DigestInit(3)/PARAMETERS>.
=over 4
=item "size" (B<OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
=back
=head2 Gettable Parameters
This implementation supports the common gettable parameters described
in L<EVP_MD-common(7)>.
=head2 Settable Context Parameters
The implementation supports the following L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> entries which
are settable for an B<EVP_MD_CTX> with L<EVP_DigestInit_ex2(3)> or
L<EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(3)>:
=over 4
=item "size" (B<OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
Sets a different digest length for the L<EVP_DigestFinal(3)> output.
The value of the "size" parameter must not exceed the default digest length
of the respective BLAKE2 algorithm variants, 64 for BLAKE2B-512 and
32 for BLAKE2S-256. The parameter must be set with the
L<EVP_DigestInit_ex2(3)> call to have an immediate effect. When set with
L<EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(3)> it will have an effect only if the B<EVP_MD_CTX>
context is reinitialized.

=head1 HISTORY
This functionality was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
The variable size support was added in OpenSSL 3.2 for BLAKE2B-512 and
in OpenSSL 3.3 for BLAKE2S-256.
