BLAKE is a cryptographic hash function that was designed as part of the NIST hash function competition, which aimed to develop a new standard for secure hashing. BLAKE was one of the finalists in this competition, although it ultimately did not win. The function was proposed by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, and Christian Rechberger.
