The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) [recurso electrónico] : (FIPS PUB 198)

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Gaithersburg : [S.n.], 2002Description: 1 archivo pdf ; 174 KBSubject(s): Summary: This standard describes a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC), a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions. HMAC can be used with any iterative Approved cryptographic hash function, in combination with a shared secret key. The cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the properties of the underlying hash function. The HMAC specification in this standard is a generalization of Internet RFC 2104, HMAC, Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication, and ANSI X9.71, Keyed Hash Message Authentication Code. Keywords: computer security, cryptography, HMAC, MAC, message authentication, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
