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

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

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

# Set the hash algorithm:
# Choices are: md5, sha-1, sha256, sha384, sha512, md2, haval
crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")
crypt.put_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 + "\n";
