(JavaScript) HMAC Hex String

Demonstrates how to compute an HMAC using a hexidecimal key and data.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();

// Set the MAC algorithm to HMAC
crypt.MacAlgorithm = "hmac";

// Our HMAC key will be the bytes represented in the following hex string.
// In other words, the HMAC key is composed of the bytes 0x41, 0xC2, 0x1C, ...
// (It is not composed of the us-ascii string '4', '1', 'C', ...)
var keyHex = "41C21CB9D7A02FC5D4FADB9E4755B9DE";
success = crypt.SetMacKeyEncoded(keyHex,"hex");

// Our desire is to HMAC the bytes represented in the following string:
var dataHex = "C22078065B01460001000000010062043BF5B18228C8E02D17BCFE4E00561FA6DEC216EA97195CEB579942E275C21932258E3CD391E507FF4E7FD4C787A8447DA111C54A9C1795E7FF4C0BAA2EDA";

// We'll need to decode the hex to binary:
var bd = new CkBinData();
bd.AppendEncoded(dataHex,"hex");

// Do the HMAC-SHA256 hash and return as a hex string:
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex";
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha-256";
var macHex = crypt.MacBdENC(bd);
console.log(macHex);
