Abstract
Hashing is so crucial for integrity. Indeed, in order to respond to new technologies requirements, hash functions have always been subject to evolution and optimization. In the same context, NIST organized a competition in 2012 for a Sha-3 hashing function. BLAKE and KECCAK were two interesting functions in terms of speed and security. Keccak was the winner of the competition. It is different from the antecedent of SHA family because it combines the sponge construction to the Keccak-f-permutations. Therefore, it is optimized for security and hardware use. The Blake function is based on the same principle of the Sha-2, and it also presents many advantages of security and speed. The Blake was improvised for the BLAKE2, which is more optimized, faster, and more efficient. In this paper, we present the Keccak and the BLAKE2 algorithms; then, we will compare the performance parameters of the functions: Blake-256, Blake-512, Keccak-256, Keccak-512, Blake2b, and Blake2s.
