ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::crypto_auth() public WP 1.0

Authenticate a message. Uses symmetric-key cryptography.

Algorithm:

HMAC-SHA512-256. Which is HMAC-SHA-512 truncated to 256 bits.
Not to be confused with HMAC-SHA-512/256 which would use the
SHA-512/256 hash function (uses different initial parameters
but still truncates to 256 bits to sidestep length-extension
attacks).

{} It's a method of the class: ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat{}

No Hooks.

Return

String. Message authentication code

Usage

$result = ParagonIE_Sodium_Compat::crypto_auth( $message, $key );

$message(string) (required)

Message to be authenticated

$key(string) (required)

Symmetric authentication key
