hmac-sha1 0.2.2

# Rust-HMAC-SHA1


![crates.io version](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/hmac-sha1.svg)

A simple wrapper around the RustCrypto `hmac` and `sha1` crates for simple `HMAC-SHA1` generation.

## Functionality Note


As the crate is now a thin wrapper around RustCrypto, please note that this crate can be replaced with the following code:

```rust
use sha1::Sha1;
use hmac::{Hmac, Mac};

pub fn main() {
    ...

    // Create the hasher with the key. We can use expect for Hmac algorithms as they allow arbitrary key sizes.
    let mut hasher: Hmac<Sha1> = Mac::new_from_slice(key) .expect("HMAC algoritms can take keys of any size");

    // hash the message
    hasher.update(message);

    // finalize the hash and convert to a static array
    let hmac: [u8;20] = hasher.finalize().into_bytes().into()

    ...
}

```

## Usage


To import rust-hmac-sha1 add the following to your Cargo.toml:
```toml
[dependencies]
hmac-sha1 = "^0.2"
```

To use rust-hmac-sha1, simply use the single provided function:
```rust
let hmac_digest: [u8; hmac_sha1::SHA1_DIGEST_BYTES] = hmac_sha1::hmac_sha1(key, message);
```
## Contributions


Any contributions are welcome.

This was implemented as a learning experience - an implementation for hmac-sha1 from just a SHA1 hasher is included in 0.1.x versions.
