And secure against length extension, unlike SHA-2. - Much faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, it's over 17 times faster than SHA3-256 on this chart: https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/media/speed.svg , with speed rivaling (and surpassing) that of KangarooTwelve (which is another CS-secure hash designed for speed, based on SHA-3) - Capable of incremental updates and verified streaming - A PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well as a regular hash. - it's the latest iteration of the BLAKE hash, and the original BLAKE hash was a SHA3-finalist (which ultimately lost to Keccak in the final round) Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(hash("BLAKE3", "test", false)); Expected result: ---------------- string(64) "4878ca0425c739fa427f7eda20fe845f6b2e46ba5fe2a14df5b1e32f50603215" Actual result: -------------- Warning: hash(): Unknown hashing algorithm: BLAKE3 in /in/K4p1O on line 3 bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79492&edit=1
