libsodium.GenericHash

Method Signature

 Protected Function GenericHash(InputData As MemoryBlock, Key As MemoryBlock = Nil, HashSize As UInt32 = libsodium.crypto_generichash_BYTES_MAX) As String

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
InputData	MemoryBlock	The data to be hashed.
Key	MemoryBlock	Optional. The key for keyed hashing.
HashSize	UInt32	Optional. The size of the hash output, in bytes.

Return value

The hash value, or Nil on error.

Remarks

Generates a BLAKE2b digest of the InputData, optionally using the specified key. The Key is typically a SecretKey or SharedSecret. HashSize must be >=32 and <=64 bytes; the default is 64 bytes.
