+C library providing BLAKE2b, BLAKE2s, BLAKE2bp, and BLAKE2sp.
+
+The cryptographic hash function BLAKE2 is an improved version of the
+SHA-3 finalist BLAKE. Like SHA-3, BLAKE2 offers the highest security,
+yet is fast as MD5 on 64-bit platforms and requires at least 33% less
+RAM than SHA-2 or SHA-3 on low-end systems.
