=head1 NAME

EVP_MAC_HMAC - The HMAC EVP_MAC implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Support for computing HMAC MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.

=head2 Numeric identity

B<EVP_MAC_HMAC> is the numeric identity for this implementation, and
can be used in functions like EVP_MAC_CTX_new_id() and
EVP_get_macbynid().

=head2 Supported controls

The supported controls are:

=over 4

=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_KEY>

EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() takes two type strings for this control:

=over 4

=item "key"

The value string is used as is.

=item "hexkey"

The value string is expected to be a hexadecimal number, which will be
decoded before passing on as control value.

=back

=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_FLAGS>

Sets HMAC flags.  This is passed directly to HMAC_CTX_set_flags().

There are no corresponding string control types.

=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_ENGINE>

=item B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_MD>

These work as described in L<EVP_MAC(3)/CONTROLS>.

EVP_MAC_ctrl_str() type string for B<EVP_MAC_CTRL_SET_DIGEST>: "digest"

The value is expected to be the name of a cipher.
