HMAC SHA-1 Matching FIPS Examples

Provides an example of computing an HMAC-SHA1 digest to duplicate the FIPS examples at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips198/fips-198a.pdf CkPython

import chilkat

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

crypt = chilkat.CkCrypt2()

strToSign = "Sample #1"

# 64-byte key
key = "000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f101112131415161718191a1b1c1d1e1f202122232425262728292a2b2c2d2e2f303132333435363738393a3b3c3d3e3f"

# The expected result:
# (from Appendix A.1 at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips198/fips-198a.pdf )
expectedResult = "4f4ca3d5d68ba7cc0a1208c9c61e9c5da0403c0a"

# Here is the code to duplicate the results:
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha-1")
crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex")
crypt.put_MacAlgorithm("hmac")

crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(key,"hex")

mac = crypt.macStringENC(strToSign)

print("Computed: " + mac)
print("Expected: " + expectedResult)
