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.
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.
Common Applications
- API Authentication & Authorization
- Digital Signature Generation
- Secure Token Creation
- Message Integrity Verification
- Secure File Transfer Validation
- Blockchain Transaction Signing
Supported Algorithms
- HMAC-SHA256 (Recommended for general use)
- HMAC-SHA512 (Higher security level)
- HMAC-SHA1 (Legacy support)
- HMAC-MD5 (Not recommended for security-critical applications)
How to Use
- Enter your message in the input field
- Provide your secret key
- Select your preferred hash algorithm (SHA256 recommended)
- Click 'Generate' to create your HMAC
- Copy the generated hash for your application
