NAME

EVP_MAC-HMAC - The HMAC EVP_MAC implementation


DESCRIPTION

Support for computing HMAC MACs through the EVP_MAC API.

Identity

This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

"HMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"

Supported parameters

The general description of these parameters can be found in EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS.

The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():

"key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
"flags" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_FLAGS) <octet string>
"digest" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"properties" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>

The "flags" parameter is passed directly to HMAC_CTX_set_flags().

The following parameter can be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():

"size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>

The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with EVP_MAC_size(). The length of the "size" parameter is equal to that of an unsigned int.
