Interface MAC

All Known Implementing Classes:
CBCMAC, HMAC, NullMAC
public interface MAC

MAC is an interface which represents the properties shared between all Message Authentication Code algorithms. MAC functions are also called keyed hash functions since they require a key to operate.

The two common ways of obtaining a MAC are by using a digest algorithm and by using a block cipher.
