Detailed Description

Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) based on ASCON-HASH.

The HMAC mode provides a method to authenticate a sequence of bytes using ASCON-HASH or ASCON-HASHA as the underlying digest algorithm.

HMAC uses an underlying block size to pad the key data. The ASCON-HASH block absorption rate of 8 bytes is too short so we use the HMAC-SHA-256 block size of 64 instead.

Note

The KMAC construction is preferable for sponge-based hash algorithms as it is simpler and more efficient. HMAC mode is provided for drop-in compatibility with existing designs.

Function Documentation

void ascon_hmac	(	unsigned char *	out,
		const unsigned char *	key,
		size_t	keylen,
		const unsigned char *	in,
		size_t	inlen
	)

Computes a HMAC value using ASCON-HASH.

Parameters

out	Buffer to receive the output HMAC value; must be at least ASCON_HMAC_SIZE bytes in length.
key	Points to the key.
keylen	Number of bytes in the key.
in	Points to the data to authenticate.
inlen	Number of bytes of data to authenticate.

void ascon_hmac_finalize	(	ascon_hmac_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	key,
		size_t	keylen,
		unsigned char *	out
	)

Finalizes an incremental ASCON-HMAC state.

Parameters

state	HMAC state to squeeze the output data from.
key	Points to the key.
keylen	Number of bytes in the key.
out	Points to the output buffer to receive the HMAC value; must be at least ASCON_HMAC_SIZE bytes in length.

ascon_hmac_init(), ascon_hmac_update()

void ascon_hmac_init	(	ascon_hmac_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	key,
		size_t	keylen
	)

Initializes an incremental HMAC state using ASCON-HASH.

Parameters

state	Points to the state to be initialized.
key	Points to the key.
keylen	Number of bytes in the key.

The key needs to be preserved until the ascon_hmac_finalize() call to provide the outer HMAC hashing key.

ascon_hmac_update(), ascon_hmac_finalize()

void ascon_hmac_update	(	ascon_hmac_state_t *	state,
		const unsigned char *	in,
		size_t	inlen
	)

Updates an incremental ASCON-HMAC state with more input data.

Parameters

state	HMAC state to be updated.
in	Points to the input data to be incorporated into the state.
inlen	Length of the input data to be incorporated into the state.

Parameters

	)

Finalizes an incremental ASCON-HMACA state.

Parameters

state	HMAC state to squeeze the output data from.
key	Points to the key.
keylen	Number of bytes in the key.
out	Points to the output buffer to receive the HMAC value; must be at least ASCON_HMAC_SIZE bytes in length.

		size_t	keylen
	)

Initializes an incremental HMAC state using ASCON-HASHA.

Parameters

state	Points to the state to be initialized.
key	Points to the key.

Updates an incremental ASCON-HMACA state with more input data.

Parameters

state	HMAC state to be updated.
in	Points to the input data to be incorporated into the state.
