5 EVP_MAC-Siphash - The Siphash EVP_MAC implementation
6
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>.
32
33 =over 4
34
35 =item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
36
37 Sets the MAC key.
38 Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
39
40 =item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
41
42 Sets the MAC size.
43
44 =item "c-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
45
46 Specifies the number of rounds per message block. By default this is I<2>.
47
48 =item "d-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
49
50 Specifies the number of finalisation rounds. By default this is I<4>.
