Queried for: Keyed-Hashing Message Authentication
Definition:
(HMAC) A mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions. HMAC can be used with any iterative cryptographic hash function, e.g., MD5, SHA-1, in combination with a secret shared key.
The cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the properties of the underlying hash function.
