Also, I've noticed that only the Any guidance on this would be very welcome! |

Could you please link cases where those variations are used in practice?
We could add tests for other variants, but we would have to generate tests ourselves. Ideally, we would use "official" test vectors, but we probably couldn't find them at the time. |
I can't, but I personally always use either 256 or 128 if I need the hash to be shorter. What I can link you though are other projects which do include them and even other less common sizes (160, 384..): |

I have similar problem that I need hash of 256 bit size, but this crate does not provide BLAKE2b-256. |
@StackOverflowExcept1on this is how you can currently generate a Blake2b-256 hash: use blake2::{Blake2b, Digest, digest::consts::U32};
type Blake2b256 = Blake2b<U32>;
let mut hasher = Blake2b256::new();
hasher.update(b"my_input");
let res = hasher.finalize(); |
