HMAC Hex String

See more Encryption Examples

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

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

# 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', ...)
$keyHex = "41C21CB9D7A02FC5D4FADB9E4755B9DE";
$success = $crypt->SetMacKeyEncoded($keyHex,"hex");

# Our desire is to HMAC the bytes represented in the following string:
$dataHex = "C22078065B01460001000000010062043BF5B18228C8E02D17BCFE4E00561FA6DEC216EA97195CEB579942E275C21932258E3CD391E507FF4E7FD4C787A8447DA111C54A9C1795E7FF4C0BAA2EDA";

# We'll need to decode the hex to binary:
$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bd->AppendEncoded($dataHex,"hex");

# Do the HMAC-SHA256 hash and return as a hex string:
$crypt->put_EncodingMode("hex");
$crypt->put_HashAlgorithm("sha-256");
$macHex = $crypt->macBdENC($bd);
print $macHex . "\r\n";
