Blake2b512 Class

Namespace: Rebex.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: Rebex.Security.dll (version 7.0.9147)

This class represents the BLAKE2b cryptographic hash and message authentication code (MAC) algorithm with hash size of 512 bits (64 bytes).

Remarks

The 512-bit (64-byte) BLAKE2b hash value can be computed using an instance of this class that offers methods declared by .NET KeyedHashAlgorithm base class. In scenarios where instantiating this class presents an unnecessary overhead, a hash value can also be created using static (shared in VB) Blake2b512.HashData methods.

Examples
// sourceData argument contains data to be hashed.
public byte[] Calculate512BitsHash(byte[] sourceData)
{
    // create an instance of Blake2b512 class
    using (var blake2b512 = new Blake2b512())
    {
        // compute and return the 512-bit (64-byte) hash
        return blake2b512.ComputeHash(sourceData);

    } // blake2b512 instance is disposed
}

Constructors

Name Description
Blake2b512()

Initializes a new instance of the Blake2b512 class.
Blake2b512(Byte[])

Initializes a new instance of the Blake2b class.

Properties

Name Description
CanReuseTransform

Gets a value indicating whether the current transform can be reused. Inherited from Blake2b.
CanTransformMultipleBlocks

Gets the value indicating whether the instance can transform multiple blocks. Inherited from Blake2b.
HashSize

Gets the size of the hash in bits. Inherited from Blake2b.
Key

Key to use in HMAC calculations.

The key must be a 0 - 64 bytes long array or null. When a null value is provided, the key is treated as an empty array. When the key is null or an empty array, the instance will calculate hashes. When the key is 1 - 64 bytes long, the instance will calculate message authentication codes (HMAC). An instance of the Blake2b class creates, uses, and clears a copy of key. An instance of the Blake2b class is not the owner of the key. Every call of the get accessor returns a new deep copy of the key. and the key will not be cleared when the Dispose(Boolean) method is called.

Inherited from Blake2b.

Methods
