Returns an instance of OpenSSL::HMAC set with the key and digest algorithm to be used. The instance represents the initial state of the message authentication code before any data has been processed. To process data with it, use the instance method update with your data as an argument.
Example
Example
key = 'key' digest = OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha1') instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new(key, digest) #=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f instance.class #=> OpenSSL::HMAC
A note about comparisons
Two instances can be securely compared with == in constant time:
Example
other_instance = OpenSSL::HMAC.new('key', OpenSSL::Digest.new('sha1')) #=> f42bb0eeb018ebbd4597ae7213711ec60760843f instance == other_instance #=> true
