39 * @title: Secure HMAC Digests
40 * @short_description: computes the HMAC for data
42 * HMACs should be used when producing a cookie or hash based on data
43 * and a key. Simple mechanisms for using SHA1 and other algorithms to
44 * digest a key and data together are vulnerable to various security
46 * [HMAC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC)
47 * uses algorithms like SHA1 in a secure way to produce a digest of a
50 * Both the key and data are arbitrary byte arrays of bytes or characters.
52 * Support for HMAC Digests has been added in GLib 2.30, and support for SHA-512
59 GChecksumType digest_type;
66 * @digest_type: the desired type of digest
67 * @key: (array length=key_len): the key for the HMAC
68 * @key_len: the length of the keys
70 * Creates a new #GHmac, using the digest algorithm @digest_type.
71 * If the @digest_type is not known, %NULL is returned.
72 * A #GHmac can be used to compute the HMAC of a key and an
73 * arbitrary binary blob, using different hashing algorithms.
75 * A #GHmac works by feeding a binary blob through g_hmac_update()
76 * until the data is complete; the digest can then be extracted
77 * using g_hmac_get_string(), which will return the checksum as a
78 * hexadecimal string; or g_hmac_get_digest(), which will return a
79 * array of raw bytes. Once either g_hmac_get_string() or
80 * g_hmac_get_digest() have been called on a #GHmac, the HMAC
81 * will be closed and it won't be possible to call g_hmac_update()
84 * Support for digests of type %G_CHECKSUM_SHA512 has been added in GLib 2.42.
86 * Returns: the newly created #GHmac, or %NULL.
87 * Use g_hmac_unref() to free the memory allocated by it.
