About:
Bao is a command-line tool and library for the BLAKE3 verified streaming protocol. It provides a robust way to hash and verify large files or data streams efficiently. The tool supports both in-band and out-of-band verification, making it ideal for secure data transfer and integrity checks.
Key Features:
  • High-performance BLAKE3 hashing implementation
  • Built-in support for verified streaming (XOF mode)
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Simple CLI for file hashing and verification
Use Cases:
  • Verifying integrity of large file downloads
  • Secure data streaming between systems
  • Generating content-addressable identifiers for data
Alternatives:
  • b3sum – Official BLAKE3 CLI; focuses on hashing, lacks built-in streaming verification
  • sha256sum – Standard tool for checksums; slower and lacks streaming features
