 * @title: Secure HMAC Digests
 * @short_description: Computes the HMAC for data
 *
 * HMACs should be used when producing a cookie or hash based on data
 * and a key. Simple mechanisms for using SHA1 and other algorithms to
 * digest a key and data together are vulnerable to various security
 * issues. <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC">HMAC</ulink>
 * uses algorithms like SHA1 in a secure way to produce a digest of a
 * key and data.
 *
 * Both the key and data are arbitrary byte arrays of bytes or characters.
 *
 * Support for HMAC Digests has been added in GLib 2.30.

/**
 * g_hmac_new:
 * @digest_type: the desired type of digest
 * @key: (array length=key_len): the key for the HMAC
 * @key_len: the length of the keys
 *
 * Creates a new #GHmac, using the digest algorithm @digest_type.
 * If the @digest_type is not known, %NULL is returned.
 * A #GHmac can be used to compute the HMAC of a key and an
 * arbitrary binary blob, using different hashing algorithms.
 *
 * A #GHmac works by feeding a binary blob through g_hmac_update()
 * until the data is complete; the digest can then be extracted
 * using g_hmac_get_string(), which will return the checksum as a
 * hexadecimal string; or g_hmac_get_digest(), which will return a
 * array of raw bytes. Once either g_hmac_get_string() or
 * g_hmac_get_digest() have been called on a #GHmac, the HMAC
 * will be closed and it won't be possible to call g_hmac_update()
 * on it anymore.
 *
 * Return value: the newly created #GHmac, or %NULL.
 *   Use g_hmac_unref() to free the memory allocated by it.
