HMAC

PowerScript function

Description

Calculates the HMAC value of a blob.

Applies to

CrypterObject object

Syntax

crypter.HMAC ( algorithm, variable, key)

1	crypter.HMAC ( algorithm, variable, key)

Argument	Description
crypter	The name of the CrypterObject object.
algorithm	A value of the HMACAlgorithm enumerated type that specifies the type of HMAC algorithm. Values are: HMACMD5! – HMAC-MD5 HMACSHA1! – HMAC-SHA1 HMACSHA224! – HMAC-SHA224 HMACSHA256! – HMAC-SHA256 HMACSHA384! – HMAC-SHA384 HMACSHA512! – HMAC-SHA512
variable	A blob whose value is the data you want to process with HMAC. When using the system blob function to convert a string to a blob, it is recommended to specify its encoding argument to be EncodingANSI! (for English characters only) or EncodingUTF8!, otherwise, the default EncodingUTF16LE! will be used.
key	A blob specifying the secret key.

Return value

Blob. Returns the result of the HMAC if it succeeds. If any
argument’s value is null, the method returns null. If an error occurs,
throw the exception.

Examples

This statement encrypts the data using HMACMD5.

Blob lblb_data
Blob lblb_key
Blob lblb_hmac

lblb_data = Blob("Test HMAC", EncodingANSI!)
lblb_key = Blob("Test HMAC Key", EncodingANSI!)

CrypterObject lnv_CrypterObject
lnv_CrypterObject = Create CrypterObject

// Encrypt with HMAC
lblb_hmac= lnv_CrypterObject.HMAC(HMACMD5!, lblb_data, lblb_key)
