DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Digest of the BLAKE3 hash function with its default 256-bit output, written as 64 hexadecimal digits. BLAKE3 is a fast successor of BLAKE2 and one of the registered algorithms of OCI content digests. It can also produce longer outputs, which the regexp does not cover. Other 256-bit digests (SHA-256, SHA3-256, Keccak-256, BLAKE2b-256 and Streebog-256) have the same length, so the value alone does not tell them apart: use the field name or context.
