5EVP_MAC-BLAKE2, EVP_MAC-BLAKE2BMAC, EVP_MAC-BLAKE2SMAC
6- The BLAKE2 EVP_MAC implementations
7
8=head1 DESCRIPTION
9
10Support for computing BLAKE2 MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
11
12=head2 Identity
13
14These implementations are identified with one of these names and
15properties, to be used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

25=head2 Supported parameters
26
27The general description of these parameters can be found in
28L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.
29
30All these parameters (except for "block-size") can be set with
31EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().
32Furthermore, the "size" parameter can be retrieved with
33EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
34The length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
35Likewise, the "block-size" parameter can be retrieved with
36EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_block_size().
37
38=over 4
39
40=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
41
42Sets the MAC key.
43It may be at most 64 bytes for BLAKE2BMAC or 32 for BLAKE2SMAC and at
44least 1 byte in both cases.
45Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
46
47=item "custom" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CUSTOM>) <octet string>
48
49Sets the customization/personalization string.
50It is an optional value of at most 16 bytes for BLAKE2BMAC or 8 for
51BLAKE2SMAC, and is empty by default.
52
53=item "salt" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SALT>) <octet string>
54
55Sets the salt.
56It is an optional value of at most 16 bytes for BLAKE2BMAC or 8 for
57BLAKE2SMAC, and is empty by default.
58
59=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
60
61Sets the MAC size.
62It can be any number between 1 and 32 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S or between 1
63and 64 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B.
64It is 32 and 64 respectively by default.
65
66=item "block-size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
67
68Gets the MAC block size.
69It is 64 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S and 128 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B.
