MAC 和 HMAC 的区别

MAC

message authentication code
the propurse of MAC is to verify the intergrity of the message

sender

1. use the hash function to get H(m)
2. concate message and H(m)
3. send the H(m) + m to the receiver

receiver

1. get the H(m) + mfrom the sender
2. caculate the hash value of mH(m)
3. compare whether the hash value from the sendr equal to the value we just caculate

MAC only can verify the intergrity of the data

HMAC

HMAC is a specific type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key. It may be used to simultaneously verify both the data integrity and
HMAC 是MAC的一个子集元素

HMAC能够同时确保数据的完整性以及数据的身份验证
