About

Blake2 is a cryptographic hash function faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, while maintaining security. It generates hash values that can be used as unique identifiers. Blake2 is optimized for speed and is used in various applications requiring fast cryptographic hashing. It's designed to be faster than SHA-3 while providing similar security guarantees. Blake2b (the 64-bit version) is particularly fast on 64-bit platforms.

Use Cases

  • •High-performance cryptographic hashing
  • •Fast unique identifier generation
  • •Content-addressable storage
  • •Performance-critical security applications
  • •Blockchain and cryptocurrency (some implementations)
  • •Applications requiring speed and security
  • •Real-time hash generation

How to Generate

Library

blakejs

NPM Package

npm install blakejs

Code Example

import { blake2b } from 'blakejs';

const randomBytes = new Uint8Array(16);
crypto.getRandomValues(randomBytes);
const hash = blake2b(randomBytes, undefined, 32);
const hexHash = Array.from(hash)
  .map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0'))
  .join('');
