HMAC wrappers¶

Digest¶

Generates a MAC tag using HMAC.

Naming convention¶

CC_HMAC_digest_<hash function>

Where hash function is one of:

sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512.
sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512.

Protocol¶

The function must conform to the following protocol:

protocol crypto_condor.primitives.HMAC.Digest

Represents the HMAC digest operation.

Added in version 2025.03.12: Replaces HMAC.digest().

Classes that implement this protocol must have the following methods / attributes:

__call__(key, msg)

Generates a MAC using HMAC.

Parameters:

key (bytes) – The secret key.
msg (bytes) – The message to authenticate.

Returns:

The MAC, in bytes.

Return type:

bytes

Verify¶

Verifies an HMAC tag.

Naming convention¶

CC_HMAC_verify_<hash function>

Where hash function is one of:

sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512.
sha3_224, sha3_256, sha3_384, sha3_512.

Protocol¶

The function must conform to the following protocol:

protocol crypto_condor.primitives.HMAC.Verify

Represents the verification of an HMAC tag.

Some implementations may offer a verify method, while others expect the user to generate a tag from the key and message, and compare it with the existing tag.

Added in version 2025.03.12: Replaces HMAC.verify().

Classes that implement this protocol must have the following methods / attributes:

__call__(key, msg, mac, mac_len)

Verifies a HMAC tag.

The size of the MAC is given to indicate that the tag may be truncated, therefore shorter than the digest size.

Parameters:

key (bytes) – The secret key.
msg (bytes) – The message to authenticate.
mac (bytes) – The tag to verify.
mac_len (int) – The size of the MAC in bytes. Equal to len(mac).

Returns:

True if the tags match, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

Example¶

"""HMAC wrapper example.

Uses Python's built-in ``hmac`` module.

To test this example:
