NAME

Digest::HMAC_MD6 - MD6 Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication

VERSION

This document describes Digest::HMAC_MD6 version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

  use Digest::HMAC_MD6 qw(hmac_md6 hmac_md6_hex);
  $digest = hmac_md6($data, $key);
  print hmac_md6_hex($data, $key);

  # OO style
  use Digest::HMAC_MD6;
  $hmac = Digest::HMAC_MD6->new($key);

  $hmac->add($data);
  $hmac->addfile(*FILE);

  $digest = $hmac->digest;
  $digest = $hmac->hexdigest;
  $digest = $hmac->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides HMAC-MD6 hashing.

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Digest::HMAC_MD6. The arguments are

$key

The key to hash with.

$block_size

The block size to use.

$hash_bits

The number of bits of hash to compute.

The $block_size and $hash_bits arguments may be omitted in which case they default to 64 and 256 respectively.

hmac_md6

Compute a MD6 HMAC hash and return its binary representation. The arguments are

$data

The data to hash.

$key

The key to hash with.

$block_size

The block size to use.

$hash_bits

The number of bits of hash to compute.

The $block_size and $hash_bits arguments may be omitted in which case they default to 64 and 256 respectively.

hmac_md6_hex

Like "hmac_md6" but return the hex representation of the key.

hmac_md6_base64

Like "hmac_md6" but return the base 64 representation of the key.
