  "abstract": "This document describes the cryptographic hash function BLAKE2 and makes the algorithm specification and C source code conveniently available to the Internet community.  BLAKE2 comes in two main flavors: BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms and BLAKE2s for smaller architectures.  BLAKE2 can be directly keyed, making it functionally equivalent to a Message Authentication Code (MAC).",
