5 EVP_MAC-Siphash - The Siphash EVP_MAC implementation

7 =head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9 Support for computing Siphash MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
10
11 =head2 Identity
12
13 This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
14 used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

23 =head2 Supported parameters
24
25 The general description of these parameters can be found in
26 L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.
27
28 All these parameters can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().
29 Furthermore, the "size" parameter can be retrieved with
30 EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
31 The length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.

38
39 =item "c-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
40
41 Specifies the number of rounds per message block. By default this is I<2>.
42
43 =item "d-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
44
45 Specifies the number of finalisation rounds. By default this is I<4>.
