:mod:`hmac` --- Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication
========================================================
.. module:: hmac
:synopsis: Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication (HMAC) implementation
for Python.
.. moduleauthor:: Gerhard Häring <ghaering@users.sourceforge.net>
.. sectionauthor:: Gerhard Häring <ghaering@users.sourceforge.net>
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/hmac.py`
--------------
This module implements the HMAC algorithm as described by :rfc:`2104`.
.. function:: new(key, msg=None, digestmod=None)
Return a new hmac object. *key* is a bytes object giving the secret key. If
*msg* is present, the method call ``update(msg)`` is made. *digestmod* is
the digest constructor or module for the HMAC object to use. It defaults to
the :func:`hashlib.md5` constructor.
An HMAC object has the following methods:
.. method:: HMAC.update(msg)
Update the hmac object with the bytes object *msg*. Repeated calls are
equivalent to a single call with the concatenation of all the arguments:
``m.update(a); m.update(b)`` is equivalent to ``m.update(a + b)``.
.. method:: HMAC.digest()
Return the digest of the bytes passed to the :meth:`update` method so far.
This bytes object will be the same length as the *digest_size* of the digest
given to the constructor. It may contain non-ASCII bytes, including NUL
bytes.
.. method:: HMAC.hexdigest()
Like :meth:`digest` except the digest is returned as a string twice the
length containing only hexadecimal digits. This may be used to exchange the
value safely in email or other non-binary environments.
.. method:: HMAC.copy()
Return a copy ("clone") of the hmac object. This can be used to efficiently
compute the digests of strings that share a common initial substring.

Module :mod:`hashlib`
The Python module providing secure hash functions.
