'''BLAKE''' is a [[cryptographic hash function]] based on [[Dan Bernstein]]'s [[ChaCha (cipher)|ChaCha]] [[stream cipher]], but a permuted copy of the input block, [[XOR]]ed with round constants, is added before each ChaCha round. Like [[SHA-2]], there are two variants differing in the [[Word (computer architecture)|word]] size. ChaCha operates on a 4×4 array of words. BLAKE repeatedly combines an 8-word hash value with 16 message words, truncating the ChaCha result to obtain the next hash value. '''BLAKE-256''' and '''BLAKE-224''' use 32-bit words and produce digest sizes of 256 bits and 224 bits, respectively, while '''BLAKE-512''' and '''BLAKE-384''' use 64-bit words and produce digest sizes of 512 bits and 384 bits, respectively.

The [[BLAKE_(hash_function)#BLAKE2|BLAKE2]] hash function, based on BLAKE, was announced in 2012. The [[BLAKE_(hash_function)#BLAKE3|BLAKE3]] hash function, based on BLAKE2, was announced in 2020.

==History==
BLAKE was submitted to the [[NIST hash function competition]] by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Luca Henzen, Willi Meier, and Raphael C.-W. Phan. In 2008, there were 51 entries. BLAKE made it to the final round consisting of five candidates but lost to ''Keccak'' in 2012, which was selected for the [[SHA-3]] algorithm.

==Algorithm==
Like [[SHA-2]], BLAKE comes in two variants: one that uses 32-bit words, used for computing hashes up to 256 bits long, and one that uses 64-bit words, used for computing hashes up to 512 bits long. The core block transformation combines 16 words of input with 16 working variables, but only 8 words (256 or 512 bits) are preserved between blocks.

It uses a table of 16 constant words (the leading 512 or 1024 bits of the fractional part of [[Pi|π]]), and a table of 10 16-element permutations:
 σ[0] =  0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15
 σ[1] = 14 10  4  8  9 15 13  6  1 12  0  2 11  7  5  3
 σ[2] = 11  8 12  0  5  2 15 13 10 14  3  6  7  1  9  4
 σ[3] =  7  9  3  1 13 12 11 14  2  6  5 10  4  0 15  8
 σ[4] =  9  0  5  7  2  4 10 15 14  1 11 12  6  8  3 13
 σ[5] =  2 12  6 10  0 11  8  3  4 13  7  5 15 14  1  9
 σ[6] = 12  5  1 15 14 13  4 10  0  7  6  3  9  2  8 11
 σ[7] = 13 11  7 14 12  1  3  9  5  0 15  4  8  6  2 10
 σ[8] =  6 15 14  9 11  3  0  8 12  2 13  7  1  4 10  5
 σ[9] = 10  2  8  4  7  6  1  5 15 11  9 14  3 12 13  0

The core operation, equivalent to ChaCha's quarter round, operates on a 4-word column or diagonal <code>a b c d</code>, which is combined with 2 words of message <code>m[]</code> and two constant words <code>n[]</code>. It is performed 8 times per full round:
 j ← σ[r%10][2×i]            <span style="color:green">// Index computations</span>
 k ← σ[r%10][2×i+1]
 a ← a + b + (m[j] ⊕ n[k])   <span style="color:green">// Step 1 (with input)</span>
 d ← (d ⊕ a) >>> 16
 c ← c + d                   <span style="color:green">// Step 2 (no input)</span>
 b ← (b ⊕ c) >>> 12
 a ← a + b + (m[k] ⊕ n[j])   <span style="color:green">// Step 3 (with input)</span>
 d ← (d ⊕ a) >>> 8
 c ← c + d                   <span style="color:green">// Step 4 (no input)</span>
 b ← (b ⊕ c) >>> 7
In the above, <code>r</code> is the round number (0–13), and <code>i</code> varies from 0 to 7.

The differences from the ChaCha quarter-round function are:
* The addition of the message words has been added.
* The rotation directions have been reversed.

The 64-bit version (which does not exist in ChaCha) is identical, but the rotation amounts are 32, 25, 16 and 11, respectively, and the number of rounds is increased to 16.

==Tweaks==
Throughout the NIST hash function competition, entrants are permitted to "tweak" their algorithms to address issues that are discovered. Changes that have been made to BLAKE are: the number of rounds was increased from 10/14 to 14/16. This is to be more conservative about security while still being fast.

==Example digests==
Hash values of an empty string:

 {{color|green|BLAKE-224("")}} =
 7dc5313b1c04512a174bd6503b89607aecbee0903d40a8a569c94eed

Changing a single bit causes each bit in the output to change with 50% probability, demonstrating an [[avalanche effect]]:

 {{color|green|BLAKE-512("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")}} =
 1f7e26f63b6ad25a0896fd978fd050a1766391d2fd0471a77afb975e5034b7ad2d9ccf8dfb47abbbe656e1b82fbc634ba42ce186e8dc5e1ce09a885d41f43451

'''BLAKE2''' is a cryptographic hash function based on BLAKE, created by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, [[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]], and Christian Winnerlein. The design goal was to replace the widely used, but broken, [[MD5]] and [[SHA-1]] algorithms in applications requiring high performance in software. BLAKE2 was announced on December 21, 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/cryptography/2012-December/003562.html|title=introducing BLAKE2 – an alternative to SHA-3, SHA-2 and MD5|first=Zooko|last=O'Whielacronx|date=21 December 2012}}</ref> A [[reference implementation]] is available under [[CC0]], the [[OpenSSL license#License incompatibilities|OpenSSL License]], and the [[Apache_License#Version_2.0|Apache Public License 2.0]].<ref name="blake2.net" /><ref name="reference-implementation-repo">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/BLAKE2/BLAKE2|title=BLAKE2 official implementations|accessdate=7 July 2019}}</ref>

BLAKE2b is faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, on 64-bit x86-64 and ARM architectures.<ref name="blake2.net">{{cite web|url=https://blake2.net/|title=BLAKE2|website=blake2.net}}</ref>  BLAKE2 provides better security than SHA-2 and similar to that of SHA-3: immunity to [[Length extension attack|length extension]], indifferentiability from a random oracle, etc.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Aumasson |first=Jean-Philippe |last2=Neves |first2=Samuel |last3=Wilcox-O’Hearn |first3=Zooko |last4=Winnerlein |first4=Christian |title=BLAKE2: simpler, smaller, fast as MD5 |url=https://eprint.iacr.org/2013/322.pdf |website=Cryptology ePrint Archive |publisher=IACR|year=2013 }}</ref>

BLAKE2 removes addition of constants to message words from BLAKE round function, changes two rotation constants, simplifies padding, adds parameter block that is XOR'ed with initialization vectors, and reduces the number of rounds from 16 to 12 for '''BLAKE2b''' (successor of BLAKE-512), and from 14 to 10 for '''BLAKE2s''' (successor of BLAKE-256).

BLAKE2 supports keying, salting, personalization, and hash tree modes, and can output digests from 1 up to 64 bytes for BLAKE2b, or up to 32 bytes for BLAKE2s. There are also parallel versions designed for increased performance on [[multi-core processor]]s; '''BLAKE2bp''' (4-way parallel) and '''BLAKE2sp''' (8-way parallel).

'''BLAKE2X''' is a family of extensible-output functions (XOFs). Whereas BLAKE2 is limited to 64-byte digests, BLAKE2X allows for digests of up to 256 GiB. BLAKE2X is itself not an instance of a hash function, and must be based on an actual BLAKE2 instance. An example of a BLAKE2X instance could be '''BLAKE2Xb16MiB''', which would be a BLAKE2X version based on BLAKE2b producing 16,777,216-byte digests (or exactly 16 [[Mebibyte|MiB]], hence the name of such an instance).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blake2.net/blake2x.pdf|title=BLAKE2X}}</ref>

BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s are specified in RFC 7693. Optional features using the parameter block (salting, personalized hashes, tree hashing, et cetera), are not specified, and thus neither is support for BLAKE2bp, BLAKE2sp, or BLAKE2X.<ref>{{cite IETF |title=The BLAKE2 Cryptographic Hash and Message Authentication Code (MAC) |rfc=7693 |sectionname= |section= |page= |last=Saarinen |first=M-J |last2=Aumasson|first2=J-P |date=November 2015 |publisher=[[Internet Engineering Task Force|IETF]] |accessdate=4 December 2015 }}</ref>

===Initialization vector===
BLAKE2b uses an initialization vector that is the same as the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6234#section-6.3 IV used by SHA-512.] These values are [[Nothing-up-my-sleeve number|transparently obtained]] by taking the first 64 bits of the fractional parts of the positive square roots of the first eight prime numbers.

'''BLAKE3''' is a cryptographic hash function based on Bao and BLAKE2, created by Jack O'Connor, Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, and [[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]]. It was announced on January 9th, 2020 at [[Real World Crypto]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/oconnor663/bao/blob/ae247d2aff286dfe0a31d41b6afc02b263956091/docs/spec.md|title=An earlier version of Bao specified its own custom tree mode, which eventually grew into BLAKE3.}}</ref>

BLAKE3 is a single algorithm with many desirable features (parallelism, XOF, KDF, PRF and MAC), in contrast to BLAKE and BLAKE2, which are algorithm families with multiple variants. BLAKE3 is a [[Merkle tree]], so it supports a practically unlimited degree of parallelism (both SIMD and multithreading) on large files. The official [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]] and [[C (programming language)|C]] implementations<ref name="BLAKE3-repo">{{cite web|url=https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3|title=BLAKE3 official implementations|accessdate=12 January 2020}}</ref> are [[Multi-licensing|dual-licensed]] as public domain ([[CC0]]) and the [[Apache License]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/LICENSE|title=This work is released into the public domain with CC0 1.0. Alternatively, it is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.}}</ref>

BLAKE3 is designed to be as fast as possible. It is consistently a few times faster than BLAKE2. The BLAKE3 compression function is closely based on that of BLAKE2s, with the biggest difference being that the number of rounds is reduced from 10 to 7, a change based on the assumption that current cryptography is too conservative.<ref>{{cite conference |last1=Aumasson |first1=Jean-Philippe |title=Too Much Crypto |url=https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1492.pdf |date=2020 |conference=Real World Crypto Symposium}}</ref> In addition to providing parallelism, the Merkle tree format also allows for verified streaming (on-the-fly verifying) and incremental updates.<ref name="BLAKE3-repo"/>
