class OpenSSL::HMAC

Parent:
Object

OpenSSL::HMAC allows computing Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). It is a type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a hash function in combination with a key. HMAC can be used to verify the integrity of a message as well as the authenticity.

OpenSSL::HMAC has a similar interface to OpenSSL::Digest.

HMAC-SHA256 using one-shot interface

key = "key"
data = "message-to-be-authenticated"
mac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest("SHA256", key, data)
#=> "cddb0db23f469c8bf072b21fd837149bd6ace9ab771cceef14c9e517cc93282e"

HMAC-SHA256 using incremental interface

data1 = File.read("file1")
data2 = File.read("file2")
key = "key"
digest = OpenSSL::Digest::SHA256.new
hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, digest)
hmac << data1
hmac << data2
mac = hmac.digest

ossl_hmac_s_digest(VALUE klass, VALUE digest, VALUE key, VALUE data)
{
    unsigned char *buf;
    unsigned int buf_len;

    StringValue(key);
    StringValue(data);
    buf = HMAC(ossl_evp_get_digestbyname(digest), RSTRING_PTR(key),
               RSTRING_LENINT(key), (unsigned char *)RSTRING_PTR(data),
               RSTRING_LEN(data), NULL, &buf_len);

    return rb_str_new((const char *)buf, buf_len);
}

Returns the authentication code as a binary string. The digest parameter specifies the digest algorithm to use. This may be a String representing the algorithm name or an instance of OpenSSL::Digest.

Example

key = 'key'
data = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'

hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('sha1', key, data)
#=> "\xDE|\x9B\x85\xB8\xB7\x8A\xA6\xBC\x8Az6\xF7\n\x90p\x1C\x9D\xB4\xD9"

    ret = rb_str_new(NULL, buf_len * 2);
    ossl_bin2hex(buf, RSTRING_PTR(ret), buf_len);

    return ret;
}

Returns the authentication code as a hex-encoded string. The digest parameter specifies the digest algorithm to use. This may be a String representing the algorithm name or an instance of OpenSSL::Digest.

Example

key = 'key'
data = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'

hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('sha1', key, data)
#=> "de7c9b85b8b78aa6bc8a7a36f70a90701c9db4d9"

static VALUE

    StringValue(key);
    GetHMAC(self, ctx);
    HMAC_Init_ex(ctx, RSTRING_PTR(key), RSTRING_LENINT(key),
                 ossl_evp_get_digestbyname(digest), NULL);

    return self;
}

Returns an instance of OpenSSL::HMAC set with the key and digest algorithm to be used. The instance represents the initial state of the message authentication code before any data has been processed. To process data with it, use the instance method update with your data as an argument.

Example

key = 'key'
digest = OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha1')
instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, digest)
#=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f
instance.class
#=> OpenSSL::HMAC

A note about comparisons

Two instances won't be equal when they're compared, even if they have the same value. Use to_s or hexdigest to return the authentication code that the instance represents. For example:

other_instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new('key', OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha1'))
#=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f
instance
#=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f
instance == other_instance
#=> false
instance.to_s == other_instance.to_s
#=> true
