Argonish

Implementation of argon2 (i, d, id) algorithms with CPU dispatching. The list of features includes:

• C++14 interface
• constexpr and partial templates to get rid of useless branches (give +2% to performance)
• AVX2 implementation of Argon2 (allows to gain +30..40% to performance)
• Vectorized Blake2B implementation (including AVX2 version)
• OpenMP for multithreading in contrast to pthread in the reference implementation

How to use

#include <library/cpp/digest/argonish/argon2.h>
...
uint32_t tcost = 1;  	/* one pass */
uint32_t mcost = 32; 	/* in KB */
uint32_t threads = 1;	/* one thread version */
NArgonish::TArgon2Factory afactory;
THolder<NArgonish::IArgon2Base> argon2 = afactory.Create(NArgonish::EArgon2Type::Argon2d, tcost, mcost, threads);
argon2->Hash(input, insize, salt, saltsize, out, outlen);
...
#include <library/cpp/digest/argonish/blake2b.h>
...
NArgonish::TBlake2BFactory bfactory;
uint32_t outlen = 32;
THolder<NArgonish::IBlake2Base> blake2b = bfactory.Create(outlen);
blake2b->Update(in, inlen);
blake2b->Final(out, outlen);

How to add your own Argon2 configuration

Just modify the internal/proxy/macro/proxy_macros.h and add appropriate ARGON2_INSTANCE_DECL declaration.
