HMAC Hex String

Demonstrates how to compute an HMAC using a hexidecimal key and data. C++

#include <CkCrypt2.h>
#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkCrypt2 crypt;

    // Set the MAC algorithm to HMAC
    crypt.put_MacAlgorithm("hmac");

    // Our HMAC key will be the bytes represented in the following hex string.
    // In other words, the HMAC key is composed of the bytes 0x41, 0xC2, 0x1C, ...
    // (It is not composed of the us-ascii string '4', '1', 'C', ...)
    const char *keyHex = "41C21CB9D7A02FC5D4FADB9E4755B9DE";
    success = crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(keyHex,"hex");

    // Our desire is to HMAC the bytes represented in the following string:
    const char *dataHex = "C22078065B01460001000000010062043BF5B18228C8E02D17BCFE4E00561FA6DEC216EA97195CEB579942E275C21932258E3CD391E507FF4E7FD4C787A8447DA111C54A9C1795E7FF4C0BAA2EDA";

    // We'll need to decode the hex to binary:
    CkBinData bd;
    bd.AppendEncoded(dataHex,"hex");

    // Do the HMAC-SHA256 hash and return as a hex string:
    crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex");
    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha-256");
    const char *macHex = crypt.macBdENC(bd);
    std::cout << macHex << "\r\n";
