HMAC message authentication code
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/hmac.h>
unsigned char *HMAC(const EVP_MD *evp_md, const void *key,
int key_len, const unsigned char *d, int n,
unsigned char *md, unsigned int *md_len);
void HMAC_Init(HMAC_CTX *ctx, const void *key, int key_len,
const EVP_MD *md);
void HMAC_Update(HMAC_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *data, int len);
void HMAC_Final(HMAC_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *md, unsigned int *len);
void HMAC_cleanup(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
DESCRIPTION
HMAC is a MAC (message authentication code), i.e. a keyed
hash function used for message authentication, which is
based on a hash function.
HMAC() computes the message authentication code of the n
bytes at d using the hash function evp_md and the key key
which is key_len bytes long.
It places the result in md (which must have space for the
output of the hash function, which is no more than
EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes). If md is NULL, the digest is
placed in a static array. The size of the output is
placed in md_len, unless it is NULL.
evp_md can be EVP_sha1(), EVP_ripemd160() etc. key and
evp_md may be NULL if a key and hash function have been
set in a previous call to HMAC_Init() for that HMAC_CTX.
HMAC_cleanup() erases the key and other data from the
HMAC_CTX.
The following functions may be used if the message is not
completely stored in memory:
HMAC_Init() initializes a HMAC_CTX structure to use the
hash function evp_md and the key key which is key_len
bytes long.
HMAC_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the
message to be authenticated (len bytes at data).
HMAC_Final() places the message authentication code in md,
which must have space for the hash function output.
