📛 NAME

EVP_MAC-Siphash - The Siphash EVP_MAC implementation

🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
🔑 Set MAC key	EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(ctx, "key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY))	Set the secret key for Siphash MAC
📏 Set MAC size	EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(ctx, "size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE))	Define output MAC length (default: 8 or 16 bytes depending on Siphash variant)
🔄 Set compression rounds	EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(ctx, "c-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS))	Number of rounds per message block (default: 2)
🔚 Set finalization rounds	EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(ctx, "d-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS))	Number of finalization rounds (default: 4)
🔍 Retrieve MAC size	EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size(ctx)	Get the current MAC size (unsigned integer)

📖 DESCRIPTION

Support for computing Siphash MACs through the EVP_MAC API.

🏷️ Identity

This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

"SIPHASH", "provider=default"

⚙️ Supported parameters

The general description of these parameters can be found in EVP_MAC(3), section "PARAMETERS".

All these parameters can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params(). Furthermore, the "size" parameter can be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size(). The length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a size_t.

• 🔑 "key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
  Sets the MAC key. Setting this parameter is identical to passing a key to EVP_MAC_init(3).
• 📏 "size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
  Sets the MAC size.
• 🔄 "c-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS) <unsigned integer>
  Specifies the number of rounds per message block. By default this is 2.
• 🔚 "d-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS) <unsigned integer>
  Specifies the number of finalisation rounds. By default this is 4.
