Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

List of Procedures

hmac

[procedure] (hmac key digest-primitive #!optional (result-form 'string))

Takes key and digest-primitive and returns a function that takes message and produces an hmac.

The result-form parameter may be used to change the format of the resulting hash, please refer to the message-digest documentation for more informations.

hmac-primitive

[procedure] (hmac-primitive key digest-primitive)

Takes key and digest-primitive and returns a message-digest-primitive that calculates the HMAC with the parameters given.

Example

 
(use hmac sha1)

((hmac "secret-key" (sha1-primitive)) "message")

Version History

7.1.0

Rewritten as a message-digest primitive. Removed the block-size parameter as that's something specified by the hashing algorithm chosen.

7.0.1

The hmac procedure no longer destroys the input. Code cleanup and miscellaneous fixes.

7

Removed dependency on srfi-4-utils as it is GPL and hmac is BSD.

6

Fixed egg category (was cryptography, now crypt)

4

Forgot to update .setup to match version in .release-info

3

Fixed install dependency bug
