Introduction
The authenticate
function computes an authentication tag for a message and a secret key,
and provides a way to verify that a given tag is valid for a given message and a key.
The function computing the tag deterministic: the same (message, key)
tuple will always
produce the same output. However, even if the message is public, knowing the key is required
in order to be able to compute a valid tag.
Therefore, the key should remain confidential. The tag, however, can be public.
Usage
import Sel.HMAC.SHA512_256 qualified as HMAC main = do -- The parties agree on a shared secret key authKey <- HMAC.newAuthenticationKey -- An authentication tag is computed for the message by the server let message = ("Hello, world!" :: StrictByteString) tag <- HMAC.authenticate message -- The server sends the message and its authentication tag -- […] -- The recipient of the message uses the shared secret to validate the message's tag HMAC.verify tag authKey message -- => True
Operations
Authenticating a single messsage
:: StrictByteString | Message to authenticate |
-> AuthenticationKey | Secret key for authentication |
-> IO AuthenticationTag | Cryptographic tag for authentication |
Compute an authentication tag for a message with a secret key shared by all parties.

Authenticating a multi-part message
Multipart
is a cryptographic context for streaming hashing.
This API can be used when a message is too big to fit
in memory or when the message is received in portions.
Use it like this:
>>>
secretKey <- HMAC.newSecreKey
>>>
hash <- HMAC.withMultipart secretKey $ \multipartState -> do -- we are in MonadIO
... message1 <- getMessage ... HMAC.updateMultipart multipartState message1 ... message2 <- getMessage ... HMAC.updateMultipart multipartState message2

:: forall (a :: Type) (m :: Type -> Type). MonadIO m | |
=> AuthenticationKey | |
-> (forall s. Multipart s -> m a) | Continuation that gives you access to a |
-> m AuthenticationTag |
Perform streaming hashing with a Multipart
cryptographic context.
Use updateMultipart
within the continuation.
The context is safely allocated first, then the continuation is run and then it is deallocated after that.
