Package: libb2-1 Version: 0.98.1-1.1 Severity: wishlist Please consider packaging the new BLAKE3 hash library, either as part of the libb2-1 package, or separately.
https://www.blake2.net/ https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3 description: We present BLAKE3, an evolution of the BLAKE2 cryptographic hash that is both faster and also more consistently fast across different platforms and input sizes. BLAKE3 supports an unbounded degree of parallelism, using a tree structure that scales up to any number of SIMD lanes and CPU cores. On Intel Cascade Lake-SP, peak single-threaded throughput is 4x that of BLAKE2b, 8x that of SHA-512, and 12x that of SHA-256, and it can scale further using multiple threads. BLAKE3 is also efficient on smaller architectures: throughput on a 32-bit ARM1176 core is 1.3x that of SHA-256 and 3x that of BLAKE2b and SHA-512. Unlike BLAKE2 and SHA-2, with different variants better suited for different platforms, BLAKE3 is a single algorithm with no variants. It provides a simplified API supporting all the use cases of BLAKE2, including keying and extendable output. The tree structure also supports new use cases, such as verified streaming and incremental updates. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/master/blake3.pdf Thank you. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_CA.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libb2-1 depends on: ii libc6 2.31-4 ii libgomp1 10.2.0-16 libb2-1 recommends no packages. libb2-1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
