     SHA-512 is a cryptographic hash function from the SHA-2 family and is
     standardized by NIST. It produces a 512-bit message digest.
 
+BLAKE2
+~~~~~~
+
+`BLAKE2`_ is a cryptographic hash function specified in :rfc:`7693`.
+
+.. note::
+
+    While the RFC specifies keying, personalization, and salting features,
+    these are not supported at this time due to limitations in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
+
+.. class:: BLAKE2b(digest_size)
+
+    BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms and produces an 1 to 64-byte
+    message digest.
+
+    :param int digest_size: The desired size of the hash output in bytes. Only
+        ``64`` is supported at this time.
+
+    :raises ValueError: If the ``digest_size`` is invalid.
+
+.. class:: BLAKE2s(digest_size)
+
+    BLAKE2s is optimized for 8 to 32-bit platforms and produces a
+    1 to 32-byte message digest.
+
+    :param int digest_size: The desired size of the hash output in bytes. Only
+        ``32`` is supported at this time.

+    :raises ValueError: If the ``digest_size`` is invalid.
