.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "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.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC()\fR computes the message authentication code of the \fBn\fR bytes at
\&\fBd\fR using the hash function \fBevp_md\fR and the key \fBkey\fR which is
\&\fBkey_len\fR bytes long.
.PP
It places the result in \fBmd\fR (which must have space for the output of
the hash function, which is no more than \fBEVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\fR bytes).
If \fBmd\fR is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.  The size of
the output is placed in \fBmd_len\fR, unless it is \fBNULL\fR. Note: passing a NULL
value for \fBmd\fR  to use the static array is not thread safe.
.PP
\&\fBevp_md\fR can be \fBEVP_sha1()\fR, \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR etc.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_init()\fR initialises a \fBHMAC_CTX\fR before first use. It must be
called.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_cleanup()\fR erases the key and other data from the \fBHMAC_CTX\fR
and releases any associated resources. It must be called when an
\&\fBHMAC_CTX\fR is no longer required.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_cleanup()\fR is an alias for \fBHMAC_CTX_cleanup()\fR included for back
compatibility with 0.9.6b, it is deprecated.
.PP
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init()\fR initializes a \fBHMAC_CTX\fR structure to use the hash
function \fBevp_md\fR and the key \fBkey\fR which is \fBkey_len\fR bytes
long. It is deprecated and only included for backward compatibility
with OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR initializes or reuses a \fBHMAC_CTX\fR structure to use the hash
function \fBevp_md\fR and key \fBkey\fR. If both are NULL (or \fBevp_md\fR is the same
as the previous digest used by \fBctx\fR and \fBkey\fR is NULL) the existing key is
reused. \fBctx\fR must have been created with \fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR before the first use
of an \fBHMAC_CTX\fR in this function. \fBN.B. HMAC_Init() had this undocumented
behaviour in previous versions of OpenSSL \- failure to switch to HMAC_Init_ex()
in programs that expect it will cause them to stop working\fR.
.PP
\&\fBNB: if HMAC_Init_ex() is called with key NULL and evp_md is not the
same as the previous digest used by ctx then an error is returned
because reuse of an existing key with a different digest is not supported.\fR
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Update()\fR can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
be authenticated (\fBlen\fR bytes at \fBdata\fR).
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Final()\fR places the message authentication code in \fBmd\fR, which
must have space for the hash function output.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBHMAC()\fR returns a pointer to the message authentication code or NULL if
an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR, \fBHMAC_Update()\fR and \fBHMAC_Final()\fR return 1 for success or 0 if
an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_init()\fR and \fBHMAC_CTX_cleanup()\fR do not return values.
