Overview

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.

HMAC has a similar interface to 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.binread("file1")
data2 = File.binread("file2")
key = "key"
hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, 'SHA256')
hmac << data1
hmac << data2
mac = hmac.digest

Instance Method Summary

Constructor Details

.new(key, digest) ⇒ HMAC

Returns an instance of 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'
instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, 'SHA1')
#=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f
instance.class
#=> OpenSSL::HMAC

A note about comparisons

Two instances can be securely compared with #== in constant time:

    other_instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new('key', 'SHA1')
#=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f
instance == other_instance
#=> true

Class Method Details

.base64digest(digest, key, data) ⇒ String

Returns the authentication code as a Base64-encoded string. The digest parameter specifies the digest algorithm to use. This may be a String representing the algorithm name or an instance of Digest.

Example

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

hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.base64digest('SHA1', key, data)
#=> "3nybhbi3iqa8ino29wqQcBydtNk="

# File 'ext/openssl/lib/openssl/hmac.rb', line 73

def base64digest(digest, key, data)
  [digest(digest, key, data)].pack("m0")
end

.digest(digest, key, data) ⇒ String

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 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"

# File 'ext/openssl/lib/openssl/hmac.rb', line 35

def digest(digest, key, data)
  hmac = new(key, digest)
  hmac << data
  hmac.digest
end

.hexdigest(digest, key, data) ⇒ String

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 Digest.

Example

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

hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('SHA1', key, data)
#=> "de7c9b85b8b78aa6bc8a7a36f70a90701c9db4d9"

Instance Method Details

#<<(string) ⇒ self Also known as: #update

Returns hmac updated with the message to be authenticated. Can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message.
