.Sh DESCRIPTION
HMAC with SHA-512 is a cryptographically secure message authentication
code (MAC),
provided to enable compatibility with other cryptographic systems.
It is generally recommended to use
.Xr crypto_blake2b_general 3monocypher
instead,
as it performs faster on x86_64 CPUs.
.Pp
The arguments are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fa hmac
The output MAC,
which is always 64 bytes long.
.It Fa key
Some secret key.
One cannot predict the final hash without it.
Users may want to wipe the key with
.Xr crypto_wipe 3monocypher
once they are done with it.
.It Fa key_size
Length of
.Fa key ,
in bytes.
32 is a good default.
Keys longer than 128 bytes will be reduced to 64 bytes by hashing
the key with SHA-512.
.It Fa message
The message to compute the HMAC for.
May overlap with
.Fa hmac .
May be
.Dv NULL
if
.Fa message_size
is 0.
.It Fa message_size
Length of
.Fa message ,
in bytes.
.El
.Pp
An incremental interface is provided.
It is useful for handling streams of data or
large files without using too much memory.
This interface uses three steps:
.Bl -bullet
.It
initialisation with
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_init ,
which sets up a context with the hashing parameters;
.It
update with
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_update ,
which hashes the message chunk by chunk, and keep the intermediary
result in the context;
.It
and finalisation with
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_final ,
which produces the final hash.
The
.Ft crypto_hmac_sha512_ctx
is automatically wiped upon finalisation.
.El
.Pp
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512
is a convenience function that
performs
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_init ,
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_update ,
and
.Fn crypto_hmac_sha512_final .
.Pp
MACs may be truncated safely down to at most 16 bytes;
the
.Xr crypto_verify64 3monocypher ,
.Xr crypto_verify32 3monocypher ,
and
.Xr crypto_verify16 3monocypher
functions can be used to to compare (possibly truncated) MACs.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
These functions return nothing.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following examples assume the existence of
.Fn arc4random_buf ,
which fills the given buffer with cryptographically secure random bytes.
If
.Fn arc4random_buf
does not exist on your system, see
.Xr intro 3monocypher
for advice about how to generate cryptographically secure random bytes.
.Pp
Computing a message authentication code all at once:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
uint8_t hash [64]; /* Output hash (between 1 and 64 bytes) */
uint8_t key [32]; /* Key (at least 1 byte) */
uint8_t message[10] = "Lorem ipsu"; /* Message to authenticate */
arc4random_buf(key, 32);
crypto_hmac_sha512(hash, key, 32, message, 500);
/* Wipe secrets if they are no longer needed */
crypto_wipe(message, 500);
crypto_wipe(key, 32);

.Pp
Computing a message authentication code incrementally:

uint8_t key [32]; /* Key (at least 1 byte) */

/* Wipe the key */

for (size_t i = 0; i < 500; i += 100) {
crypto_hmac_sha512_update(&ctx, message + i, 100);
/* Wipe secrets if they are no longer needed */
crypto_wipe(message + i, 100);
}
crypto_hmac_sha512_final(&ctx, hash);

.Sh STANDARDS
These functions implement HMAC with SHA-512.
HMAC and SHA-512 itself are described in RFC 6234;
SHA-512 is also described in the Federal Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) 180-4;
HMAC is also described in FIPS 198-1.
