CAVP Testing: Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC)

Algorithm Specifications

Algorithm information is available from the Cryptographic Toolkit page.

Algorithm Validation Testing Requirements

The algorithm validation testing requirements for FIPS 198-1 are specified in:

The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) Validation System (HMACVS).

Testing Notes

 

Validation List

HMAC Validation List.

Test Vectors

Use of these test vectors does not replace validation obtained through the CAVP.

The test vectors linked below can be used to informally verify the correctness of a HMAC algorithm listed above.
