crypto.createHmac(algorithm, key)
Creates and returns an Hmac object that uses the given algorithm and key.
The algorithm is dependent on the available algorithms supported by the version of OpenSSL on the platform. Examples are 'sha256', 'sha512', etc. On recent releases of OpenSSL, openssl list-message-digest-algorithms will display the available digest algorithms.
The key is the HMAC key used to generate the cryptographic HMAC hash.
Example: generating the sha256 HMAC of a file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | const filename = process.argv[2];const crypto = require('crypto');const fs = require('fs');const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', 'a secret');const input = fs.createReadStream(filename);input.on('readable', () => { var data = input.read(); if (data) hmac.update(data); else { console.log(`${hmac.digest('hex')} ${filename}`); }}); |
