.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 \fIdata_len\fR bytes at
\&\fIdata\fR using the hash function \fIevp_md\fR and the key \fIkey\fR which is
\&\fIkey_len\fR bytes long. The \fIkey\fR may also be NULL with \fIkey_len\fR being 0.
.PP
It places the result in \fImd\fR (which must have space for the output of
the hash function, which is no more than \fBEVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\fR bytes).
If \fImd\fR is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. The size of
the output is placed in \fImd_len\fR, unless it is NULL. Note: passing a NULL
value for \fImd\fR to use the static array is not thread safe.
.PP
\&\fIevp_md\fR is a message digest such as \fBEVP_sha1()\fR, \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR etc.
HMAC does not support variable output length digests such as \fBEVP_shake128()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_shake256()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC()\fR uses the default \fBOSSL_LIB_CTX\fR.
Use \fBEVP_Q_mac\fR\|(3) instead if a library context is required.
.PP
All of the functions described below are deprecated.
Applications should instead use \fBEVP_MAC_CTX_new\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_MAC_CTX_free\fR\|(3),
\&\fBEVP_MAC_init\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_MAC_update\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_MAC_final\fR\|(3)
or the 'quick' single-shot MAC function \fBEVP_Q_mac\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR creates a new HMAC_CTX in heap memory.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_reset()\fR clears an existing \fBHMAC_CTX\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 \fBHMAC_CTX\fR,
releases any associated resources and finally frees the \fBHMAC_CTX\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 \fBHMAC_CTX\fR structure to use the hash
function \fIevp_md\fR and key \fIkey\fR. If both are NULL, or if \fIkey\fR is NULL
and \fIevp_md\fR is the same as the previous call, then the
existing key is
reused. \fIctx\fR must have been created with \fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR before the first use
of an \fBHMAC_CTX\fR in this function.
.PP
If \fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR is called with \fIkey\fR NULL and \fIevp_md\fR is not the
same as the previous digest used by \fIctx\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 \fBHMAC_CTX\fR structure to use the hash
function \fIevp_md\fR and the key \fIkey\fR which is \fIkey_len\fR bytes
long.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Update()\fR can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
be authenticated (\fIlen\fR bytes at \fIdata\fR).
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Final()\fR places the message authentication code in \fImd\fR, which
must have space for the hash function output.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_copy()\fR copies all of the internal state from \fIsctx\fR into \fIdctx\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 EVP_MD that has previously been set for the
supplied HMAC_CTX.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_size()\fR returns the length in bytes of the underlying 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_CTX_new()\fR returns a pointer to a new \fBHMAC_CTX\fR on success or
NULL 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 EVP_MD previously set for the supplied HMAC_CTX or
NULL if no EVP_MD has been set.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_size()\fR returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output
or zero on error.

All functions except for \fBHMAC()\fR were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_init()\fR was replaced with \fBHMAC_CTX_reset()\fR in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_cleanup()\fR existed in OpenSSL before version 1.1.0.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_CTX_new()\fR, \fBHMAC_CTX_free()\fR and \fBHMAC_CTX_get_md()\fR are new in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
.PP
\&\fBHMAC_Init_ex()\fR, \fBHMAC_Update()\fR and \fBHMAC_Final()\fR did not return values in
OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
