=head1 NAME
EVP_MAC_BLAKE2 - The BLAKE2 EVP_MAC implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for computing BLAKE2 MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
=head2 Numeric identity
B<EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B> and B<EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S> are the numeric identities for this
implementation, and can be used in functions like EVP_MAC_CTX_new_id() and
EVP_get_macbynid().
=head2 Supported controls
The supported controls are:
=over 4
=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_KEY>
This is a string value of at most 64 bytes for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B
or 32 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S and at least 1 byte in both cases.
This must be set before calling EVP_MAC_init().
EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
=over 4
=item "key"
The value string is used as is.
=item "hexkey"
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be
decoded before passing on as control value.
=back
=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_CUSTOM>
This is an optional string value of at most 16 bytes for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B
or 8 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S, set to all-NULL by default.
If used this must be set before calling EVP_MAC_init().
EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
=over 4
=item "custom"
The value string is used as is.
=item "hexcustom"
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be
decoded before passing on as control value.
=back
=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_SALT>
This is an optional string value of at most 16 bytes for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B
or 8 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S, set to all-NULL by default.
If used this must be set before calling EVP_MAC_init().
EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:
=over 4
=item "salt"
The value string is used as is.
=item "hexsalt"
The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be
decoded before passing on as control value.
=back
=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_SIZE>
EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() type string: "outlen"
This is an optional value string containing a decimal number between 1 and
32 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2S or 64 for EVP_MAC_BLAKE2B.
If it is not set it uses the default digest size of 32 and 64 respectively.
If used this must be set before calling EVP_MAC_init().
