15//! HMAC is specified in [RFC 2104].
16//!
17//! After a `Key` is constructed, it can be used for multiple signing or
18//! verification operations. Separating the construction of the key from the
19//! rest of the HMAC operation allows the per-key precomputation to be done
20//! only once, instead of it being done in every HMAC operation.
21//!
22//! Frequently all the data to be signed in a message is available in a single
23//! contiguous piece. In that case, the module-level `sign` function can be
24//! used. Otherwise, if the input is in multiple parts, `Context` should be
25//! used.
26//!
27//! # Examples:
28//!
29//! ## Signing a value and verifying it wasn't tampered with
30//!
31//! ```
32//! use ring::{hmac, rand};
33//!
34//! let rng = rand::SystemRandom::new();
35//! let key = hmac::Key::generate(hmac::HMAC_SHA256, &rng)?;
36//!
37//! let msg = "hello, world";
38//!
39//! let tag = hmac::sign(&key, msg.as_bytes());
40//!
41//! // [We give access to the message to an untrusted party, and they give it
42//! // back to us. We need to verify they didn't tamper with it.]
43//!
44//! hmac::verify(&key, msg.as_bytes(), tag.as_ref())?;
45//!
46//! # Ok::<(), ring::error::Unspecified>(())
47//! ```
48//!
49//! ## Using the one-shot API:
50//!
51//! ```
52//! use ring::{digest, hmac, rand};
53//! use ring::rand::SecureRandom;
54//!
55//! let msg = "hello, world";
56//!
57//! // The sender generates a secure key value and signs the message with it.
58//! // Note that in a real protocol, a key agreement protocol would be used to
59//! // derive `key_value`.
60//! let rng = rand::SystemRandom::new();
61//! let key_value: [u8; digest::SHA256_OUTPUT_LEN] = rand::generate(&rng)?.expose();
62//!
63//! let s_key = hmac::Key::new(hmac::HMAC_SHA256, key_value.as_ref());
64//! let tag = hmac::sign(&s_key, msg.as_bytes());
65//!
66//! // The receiver (somehow!) knows the key value, and uses it to verify the
67//! // integrity of the message.
68//! let v_key = hmac::Key::new(hmac::HMAC_SHA256, key_value.as_ref());
69//! hmac::verify(&v_key, msg.as_bytes(), tag.as_ref())?;
70//!
71//! # Ok::<(), ring::error::Unspecified>(())
72//! ```
73//!
74//! ## Using the multi-part API:
75//! ```
76//! use ring::{digest, hmac, rand};
77//! use ring::rand::SecureRandom;
78//!
79//! let parts = ["hello", ", ", "world"];
80//!
81//! // The sender generates a secure key value and signs the message with it.
82//! // Note that in a real protocol, a key agreement protocol would be used to
83//! // derive `key_value`.
84//! let rng = rand::SystemRandom::new();
85//! let mut key_value: [u8; digest::SHA384_OUTPUT_LEN] = rand::generate(&rng)?.expose();
86//!
87//! let s_key = hmac::Key::new(hmac::HMAC_SHA384, key_value.as_ref());
88//! let mut s_ctx = hmac::Context::with_key(&s_key);
89//! for part in &parts {
90//!     s_ctx.update(part.as_bytes());
91//! }
92//! let tag = s_ctx.sign();
93//!
94//! // The receiver (somehow!) knows the key value, and uses it to verify the
95//! // integrity of the message.
96//! let v_key = hmac::Key::new(hmac::HMAC_SHA384, key_value.as_ref());
97//! let mut msg = Vec::<u8>::new();
98//! for part in &parts {
99//!     msg.extend(part.as_bytes());
100//! }
101//! hmac::verify(&v_key, &msg.as_ref(), tag.as_ref())?;
102//!
103//! # Ok::<(), ring::error::Unspecified>(())
