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
data_len
bytes at
data
using the hash function
evp_md
and the key
key
which is
key_len
bytes long. The
key
may also be NULL with
key_len
being 0.
It places the result in
md
(which must have space for the output of the hash function, which is no more than
EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE
bytes). If
md
is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array. The size of the output is placed in
md_len
, unless it is NULL. Note: passing a NULL value for
md
to use the static array is not thread safe.
evp_md
is a message digest such as EVP_sha1(), EVP_ripemd160() etc. HMAC does not support variable output length digests such as EVP_shake128() and EVP_shake256().
HMAC() uses the default
OSSL_LIB_CTX
. Use
EVP_Q_mac(3)
instead if a library context is required.
All of the functions described below are deprecated. Applications should instead use
EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3)
,
EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3)
,
EVP_MAC_init(3)
,
EVP_MAC_update(3)
and
EVP_MAC_final(3)
or the 'quick' single-shot MAC function
EVP_Q_mac(3)
.
HMAC_CTX_new() creates a new HMAC_CTX in heap memory.
HMAC_CTX_reset() clears an existing
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
HMAC_CTX
, releases any associated resources and finally frees the
HMAC_CTX
itself.
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:
HMAC_Init_ex() initializes or reuses a
HMAC_CTX
structure to use the hash function
evp_md
and key
key
. If both are NULL, or if
key
is NULL and
evp_md
is the same as the previous call, then the existing key is reused.
ctx
must have been created with HMAC_CTX_new() before the first use of an
HMAC_CTX
in this function.
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.
HMAC_Init() initializes a
HMAC_CTX
structure to use the hash function
evp_md
and the key
key
which is
key_len
bytes long.
HMAC_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be authenticated (
len
bytes at
data
).
HMAC_Final() places the message authentication code in
md
, which must have space for the hash function output.
HMAC_CTX_copy() copies all of the internal state from
sctx
into
dctx
.
HMAC_CTX_set_flags() applies the specified flags to the internal EVP_MD_CTXs. These flags have the same meaning as for
EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(3)
.
HMAC_CTX_get_md() returns the EVP_MD that has previously been set for the supplied HMAC_CTX.
HMAC_size() returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output.
RETURN VALUES
HMAC() returns a pointer to the message authentication code or NULL if an error occurred.
HMAC_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a new
HMAC_CTX
on success or NULL if an error occurred.
HMAC_CTX_reset(), HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update(), HMAC_Final() and HMAC_CTX_copy() return 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
HMAC_CTX_get_md() return the EVP_MD previously set for the supplied HMAC_CTX or NULL if no EVP_MD has been set.
HMAC_size() returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output or zero on error.

HISTORY
All functions except for HMAC() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
HMAC_CTX_init() was replaced with HMAC_CTX_reset() in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
HMAC_CTX_cleanup() existed in OpenSSL before version 1.1.0.
HMAC_CTX_new(), HMAC_CTX_free() and HMAC_CTX_get_md() are new in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() did not return values in OpenSSL before version 1.0.0.
