Package: libdigest-hmac-perl (1.05+dfsg-1)

module for creating standard message integrity checks

HMAC is used for message integrity checks between two parties that share a secret key, and works in combination with some other Digest algorithm, usually MD5 or SHA-1. The HMAC mechanism is described in RFC 2104.

The Digest::HMAC module follow the common Digest:: interface, but the constructor takes the secret key and the name of some other simple Digest:: module as argument.
