Dear Crypto++ developers: Would you please consider including the BLAKE2 hash function?
https://blake2.net (Disclosure: I'm one of the authors of it.) BLAKE2 is an optimized variant of the "BLAKE" SHA-3 candidate. It is in many cases faster than MD5, while offering security that is probably as good as that of SHA-3. BLAKE2 seems to be the hash function du jour among the cool crypto kids, judging from how often I see it showing up as a component in a new scheme (e.g. http://lyra-kdf.net/) or some new github project (e.g. https://github.com/catid/tabby). See also the "Users" section of https://blake2.net for other examples. If you want to include BLAKE2 in Crypto++, just start with https://blake2.net/blake2_code_20130131.zip . If it helps, I would be okay using just the reference implementation for now instead of the optimized implementations. Thanks for your consideration!
