July 2011
An implementation of the BLAKE SHA-3 candidate hash algorithms in Haskell,
including BLAKE-256, BLAKE-512, BLAKE-224, and BLAKE-384.
The folder `./blakesum` contains source for a `blakesum` library which
provides the hash functions.
The folder `./blakesum-demo` contains an executable program which demonstrates a use of these.

THE DEMO:
$ blakesum -h
blakesum
  -a BITS  --algorithm=BITS  256, 512, 224, 384 (default: 512)
  -c       --check           check saved hashes
  -s SALT  --salt=SALT       one positive uint per byte, salt: "0,0,...0,0"
  -h       --help            display this help and exit
  -v       --version         display version and exit
