=head1 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 B<n> bytes at
B<d> using the hash function B<evp_md> and the key B<key> which is
B<key_len> bytes long.
It places the result in B<md> (which must have space for the output of
the hash function, which is no more than B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes).
If B<md> is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. The size of
the output is placed in B<md_len>, unless it is B<NULL>.
B<evp_md> can be EVP_sha1(), EVP_ripemd160() etc.
HMAC_CTX_new() creates a new HMAC_CTX in heap memory.
2001-12-10 05:53:31 +08:00
HMAC_CTX_reset() zeroes an existing B<HMAC_CTX> and associated
resources, making it suitable for new computations as if it was newly
created with HMAC_CTX_new().
HMAC_CTX_free() erases the key and other data from the B<HMAC_CTX>,
releases any associated resources and finally frees the B<HMAC_CTX>
itself.

2000-02-04 02:22:01 +08:00
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
HMAC_Init() initializes a B<HMAC_CTX> structure to use the hash
2001-12-10 05:53:31 +08:00
function B<evp_md> and the key B<key> which is B<key_len> bytes
long. It is deprecated and only included for backward compatibility
with OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
HMAC_Init_ex() initializes or reuses a B<HMAC_CTX> structure to use
the function B<evp_md> and key B<key>. Either can be NULL, in which
case the existing one will be reused. B<ctx> must have been created
with HMAC_CTX_new() before the first use of an B<HMAC_CTX> in this
2001-12-10 05:53:31 +08:00
function. B<N.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>.
2000-02-04 02:22:01 +08:00
HMAC_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
be authenticated (B<len> bytes at B<data>).
HMAC_Final() places the message authentication code in B<md>, which
must have space for the hash function output.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
HMAC() returns a pointer to the message authentication code or NULL if
an error occurred.
2000-02-04 02:22:01 +08:00
HMAC_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a new B<HMAC_CTX> on success or
B<NULL> if an error occurred.
HMAC_CTX_reset(), HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() return 1
for success or 0 if an error occurred.
HMAC_CTX_free() do not return values.

=head1 HISTORY
HMAC_CTX_init() was replaced with HMAC_CTX_reset() in OpenSSL versions 1.1.
HMAC_CTX_cleanup() existed in OpenSSL versions before 1.1.
HMAC_CTX_new() and HMAC_CTX_free() are new in OpenSSL version 1.1.
HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() did not return values in
versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.0.
