Hash-based message authentication code(HMAC) is a mechanism used for cryptographically authenticating messages.
It can use any kind of cryptographic hash function. Its strength depends on the underlying hash function and the chosen secret key. With such a combination, the HMAC verification algorithm is then known with a compound name such as HMAC-SHA2.
HMAC is used to ensure both integrity and authentication.
