Information for package perl-Digest-HMAC:
-----------------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss

Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 28.0 KiB
Installed : No

Source package : perl-Digest-HMAC-1.04-1.14.src
Upstream URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Digest-HMAC
Summary : Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication
Description :
HMAC is used for message integrity checks between two parties that share a
secret key, and works in combination with some other Digest algorithm,
usually MD5 or SHA-1. The HMAC mechanism is described in RFC 2104.
HMAC follow the common 'Digest::' interface, but the constructor takes the
secret key and the name of some other simple 'Digest::' as argument.
The hmac() and hmac_hex() functions and the Digest::HMAC->new() constructor
takes an optional $blocksize argument as well. The HMAC algorithm assumes
the digester to hash by iterating a basic compression function on blocks of
data and the $blocksize should match the byte-length of such blocks.
The default $blocksize is 64 which is suitable for the MD5 and SHA-1 digest
functions. For stronger algorithms the blocksize probably needs to be
increased.
