hmac_sha1

kumo.digest.hmac_sha1(KEY, MSG)

Since: Dev Builds Only

The functionality described in this section requires a dev build of KumoMTA. You can obtain a dev build by following the instructions in the Installation section.

Computes an HMAC digest over the MSG argument, using KEY as the means for signing/authenticating the data.

This function uses SHA1 as the digest algorithm for the HMAC.

Note

SHA1 is a deprecated algorithm that is no longer recommended for cryptographic usage.

The KEY parameter is expected to be a KeySource defining how to access the secret key bytes.

The returned value is a BinaryResult object representing the digest bytes. It has properties that can return the digest bytes or encoded in a number of common and useful encodings.

Computing the HMAC with a string-based key

local kumo = require 'kumo'

-- It is not recommended to use this form in production.
-- Consider storing the key in either a vault or in a local
-- file to keep the credential material outside of the repo
-- where you maintain your lua policy code
local key_bytes = {
  key_data = 'your key',
}
local hmac = kumo.digest.hmac_sha1(key_bytes, 'your message')
assert(hmac.hex == '317d0dfd868a5c06c9444ac1328aa3e2bfd29fb2')
