说明

What is HMAC?

HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) is a specific type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key. It provides a secure way to verify both the data integrity and authenticity of a message.

技术原理

Technical Principles

HMAC operates by combining a cryptographic hash function (like SHA256) with a secret key. The process involves two rounds of hashing, using inner and outer padded keys, which makes it highly resistant to various cryptographic attacks while maintaining computational efficiency.

用途

Common Applications

  • API Authentication & Authorization
