Question

HMAC digest doesn't match expected (STM3221G-EVAL)

I just purchased the STM3221G-EVAL board and I am working through some examples. I am currently using running the HMAC example and it runs fine. However I am unable to get the HMAC to match the test vectors provided in the specification (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2202).

Specifically for the following:

test_case = 1

key = 0x0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b

key_len = 20

data = "Hi There"

data_len = 8

digest = 0xb617318655057264e28bc0b6fb378c8ef146be00

But I get a completely different digest.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

    I don't think so, at least not until you show us your code which doesn't work as expected :)

    Thanks [After Forever] - that was just a "hello world"

    Here is the code:

    Now compare the key you mentioned and the key you wrote:

    0x0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b

    0x0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0b0bb0b0b0b00b
