Description

Blake2b (RFC 7693[1], SHA3 competition finalist) hashing mechanism (which is very fast in software and the underlying xchacha round function is used in other crypto mechanisms, which can increase code
density in SW only tokens). Blake2b can have a key parameter, which if secret can function like a MAC.
