-

How to Use

Enter your message payload and secret key. Select a hashing algorithm (SHA-256, SHA-512, MD5) and desired output encoding. The HMAC hash updates in real-time. Use the Verify Signature box to check whether an incoming signature matches your computed HMAC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code)?

An HMAC is a cryptographic construction that combines a secret key with a cryptographic hash function (such as SHA-256 or SHA-512) to verify both the data integrity and authenticity of a message.

How does an HMAC differ from a regular hash?

A standard hash verifies that data has not been altered accidentally, but anyone can recompute it. An HMAC requires knowledge of a shared secret key, guaranteeing that only the legitimate keyholder could have signed the message.

What are common real-world use cases for HMAC?

HMAC is standard for signing webhook notifications (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify), authorizing REST API requests (AWS Signature Version 4), signing session cookies, and validating JWT tokens.

Why is HMAC immune to length-extension attacks?

HMAC uses a nested two-pass hashing structure: H((K ^ opad) || H((K ^ ipad) || M)). This inner and outer padding prevents attackers from appending unauthorized data to the hash digest.

How should HMAC secret keys be generated and managed?

Secret keys should be generated using cryptographically secure random number generators (at least 256 bits for SHA-256), stored in environment variables or key vaults, and never committed to version control.

What is constant-time comparison and why is it critical for HMAC verification?

Standard string equality comparisons exit on the first mismatched byte, leaking timing information that allows attackers to forge signatures byte-by-byte. Constant-time comparison checks all bytes in equal time regardless of match status.

Which hash algorithms are recommended for HMAC today?

HMAC-SHA-256 and HMAC-SHA-512 are universally recommended and widely supported. Legacy algorithms like HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1 should not be used in modern production systems.

What output encodings are standard for HMAC signatures?

Hexadecimal (hex) strings and Base64 (or Base64URL) strings are the standard encodings for sending signatures over HTTP headers, URL parameters, and API payloads.

How do APIs use HMAC to prevent replay attacks?

Senders include a current timestamp or unique nonce in the signed payload. The receiving server validates the HMAC signature and rejects requests with timestamps older than a short threshold (e.g., 5 minutes).

Does this tool log or transmit your secret keys or payloads?

No. All HMAC generation and signature comparison calculations are executed entirely inside your browser memory using client-side cryptographic routines. No keys or data are transmitted.
