.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\s-1HMAC\s0 is a \s-1MAC\s0 (message authentication code), i.e. a keyed hash
function used for message authentication, which is based on a hash
function.
.PP
\&\s-1\fBHMAC\s0()\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 \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\s0\fR bytes).
If \fBmd\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the digest is placed in a static array.  The size of
the output is placed in \fBmd_len\fR, unless it is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. Note: passing a \s-1NULL\s0
value for \fBmd\fR  to use the static array is not thread safe.
.PP
\&\fBevp_md\fR is a message digest such as \fBEVP_sha1()\fR, \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR etc. \s-1HMAC\s0 does
not support variable output length digests such as \fBEVP_shake128()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_shake256()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR creates a new \s-1HMAC_CTX\s0 in heap memory.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_reset()\fR zeros an existing \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR and associated
resources, making it suitable for new computations as if it was newly
created with \fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_free()\fR erases the key and other data from the \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR,
releases any associated resources and finally frees the \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR
itself.
.PP
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR initializes or reuses a \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR structure to use the hash
function \fBevp_md\fR and key \fBkey\fR. If both are \s-1NULL,\s0 or if \fBkey\fR is \s-1NULL\s0
and \fBevp_md\fR is the same as the previous call, then the
existing key is
reused. \fBctx\fR must have been created with \fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR before the first use
of an \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR in this function.
.PP
If \fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR is called with \fBkey\fR \s-1NULL\s0 and \fBevp_md\fR is not the
same as the previous digest used by \fBctx\fR then an error is returned
because reuse of an existing key with a different digest is not supported.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init()\fR initializes a \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR structure to use the hash
function \fBevp_md\fR and the key \fBkey\fR which is \fBkey_len\fR bytes
long.
.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.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_copy()\fR copies all of the internal state from \fBsctx\fR into \fBdctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_set_flags()\fR applies the specified flags to the internal EVP_MD_CTXs.
These flags have the same meaning as for \fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_flags\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_get_md()\fR returns the \s-1EVP_MD\s0 that has previously been set for the
supplied \s-1HMAC_CTX.\s0
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_size()\fR returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\s-1\fBHMAC\s0()\fR returns a pointer to the message authentication code or \s-1NULL\s0 if
an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to a new \fB\s-1HMAC_CTX\s0\fR on success or
\&\fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_reset()\fR, \fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR, \fBHMAC_Update()\fR, \fBHMAC_Final()\fR and
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_copy()\fR return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_get_md()\fR return the \s-1EVP_MD\s0 previously set for the supplied \s-1HMAC_CTX\s0 or
\&\s-1NULL\s0 if no \s-1EVP_MD\s0 has been set.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_size()\fR returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output
or zero on error.
