blake3-prov

This is a BLAKE3 provider implementation for OpenSSL, intended to provide access to BLAKE3 until the algorithm is standardized and implemented upstream.

Dependencies

• OpenSSL 3.0 or greater
• CMake 3.10 or greater

Building

Create a separate build tree:

$ mkdir output && cd output
$ cmake ../ && make

The only currently supported platform is Linux, using GCC or Clang. Other platforms and compilers may or may not work.

Configuration Flags

• BLAKE3_ENABLE_SSE

  • Set CMake flag to 1 during invocation to enable SSE2 and SSE4.1 optimziations in BLAKE3. If not set, this option will default to the appropriate setting for the host system.

• BLAKE3_ENABLE_AVX2

  • Set to 1 to enable AVX2 support in BLAKE3. This option defaults to enabled.

• BLAKE3_ENABLE_AVX512

  • Set to 1 to enable AVX512 support in BLAKE3. This option defaults to disabled.

• BLAKE3_ENABLE_NEON

  • Set to 1 to enable NEON support in BLAKE3. This option defaults to disabled.

Environment Variables

• OPENSSL_MODULES_DIR
  • If this environment variable is set, the install script will install the provider library to the directory specified.

Running Tests

Tests can be run with CTest:

$ ctest ..

Installation

Run the installation script with:

$ sudo make install
