Package hmac implements the Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) as
defined in U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 198.
An HMAC is a cryptographic hash that uses a key to sign a message.
The receiver verifies the hash by recomputing it using the same key.
Receivers should be careful to use Equal to compare MACs in order to avoid
timing side-channels:
// ValidMAC reports whether messageMAC is a valid HMAC tag for message.
func ValidMAC(message, messageMAC, key []byte) bool {
mac := hmac.New(sha256.New, key)
mac.Write(message)
expectedMAC := mac.Sum(nil)
return hmac.Equal(messageMAC, expectedMAC)
}
Package-Level Type Names (total 2, neither is exported)
Package-Level Functions (total 2, both are exported)
Equal compares two MACs for equality without leaking timing information.
New returns a new HMAC hash using the given hash.Hash type and key.
New functions like sha256.New from crypto/sha256 can be used as h.
h must return a new Hash every time it is called.
Note that unlike other hash implementations in the standard library,
the returned Hash does not implement encoding.BinaryMarshaler
or encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler.
