Chilkat2-Python

HMAC with SHA256

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to compute a HMAC SHA256 keyed-hash message authentication code. Chilkat2-Python

import chilkat2

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

crypt = chilkat2.Crypt2()

# The output will be Hex, so set the EncodingMode:
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

# Set the hash algorithm:
# Choices are: md5, sha-1, sha256, sha384, sha512, md2, haval
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha256"
crypt.MacAlgorithm = "hmac"

# Set the HMAC key:
crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded("The_API_Secret","ascii")
mac = crypt.MacStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")
print(mac)
