EVP_PKEY-HMAC, EVP_KEYMGMT-HMAC, EVP_PKEY-Siphash, EVP_KEYMGMT-Siphash, EVP_PKEY-Poly1305, EVP_KEYMGMT-Poly1305, EVP_PKEY-CMAC, EVP_KEYMGMT-CMAC - EVP_PKEY legacy MAC keytypes and algorithm support The HMAC and CMAC key types are implemented in OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers. Additionally the Siphash and Poly1305 key types are implemented in the default provider. Performing MAC operations via an EVP_PKEY is considered legacy and are only available for backwards compatibility purposes and for a restricted set of algorithms. The preferred way of performing MAC operations is via the EVP_MAC APIs. See EVP_MAC_init(3). For further details on using EVP_PKEY based MAC keys see EVP_SIGNATURE-HMAC(7), EVP_SIGNATURE-Siphash(7), EVP_SIGNATURE-Poly1305(7) or EVP_SIGNATURE-CMAC(7).

Common MAC parameters
All the MAC keytypes support the following parameters. The MAC key value. A property query string to be used when any algorithms are fetched.

CMAC parameters
As well as the parameters described above, the CMAC keytype additionally supports the following parameters. The name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC. The name of an engine to be used for the specified cipher (if any).

Common MAC key generation parameters
MAC key generation is unusual in that no new key is actually generated. Instead a new provider side key object is created with the supplied raw key value. This is done for backwards compatibility with previous versions of OpenSSL. The MAC key value.

CMAC key generation parameters
In addition to the common MAC key generation parameters, the CMAC key generation additionally recognises the following. The name of a cipher to be used when generating the MAC.
