HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
This document provides test vectors for the HMAC-SHA-224,
HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 message authentication
schemes. It also provides ASN.1 object identifiers and Uniform
Resource Identifiers (URIs) to identify use of these schemes in
protocols. The test vectors provided in this document may be used
for conformance testing.

1. Introduction
This document provides test vectors for the HMAC-SHA-224,
HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 message authentication
schemes. It also provides ASN.1 object identifiers and URIs to
identify use of these schemes in protocols using ASN.1 constructs
(such as those built on Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
(S/MIME) [4]) or protocols based on XML constructs (such as those
leveraging XML Digital Signatures [5]).
HMAC-SHA-224 is the realization of the HMAC message authentication
code [1] using the SHA-224 hash function, HMAC-SHA-256 is the
realization of the HMAC message authentication code using the SHA-256
hash function, HMAC-SHA-384 is the realization of the HMAC message
authentication code using the SHA-384 hash function, and HMAC-SHA-512
is the realization of the HMAC message authentication code using the
SHA-512 hash function. SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are
all described in [2].
2. Conventions Used in This Document
The key word "SHOULD" in this document is to be interpreted as
described in RFC 2119 [3].
Nystrom Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 4231 HMAC-SHA Identifiers and Test Vectors December 2005
3. Scheme Identifiers
3.1. ASN.1 Object Identifiers
The following ASN.1 object identifiers have been allocated for these
schemes:
rsadsi OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)}
digestAlgorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {rsadsi 2}
id-hmacWithSHA224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 8}
id-hmacWithSHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 9}
id-hmacWithSHA384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 10}
id-hmacWithSHA512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 11}
When the "algorithm" component in a value of ASN.1 type
AlgorithmIdentifier (see, e.g., [4], Section 10) identifies one of
these schemes, the "parameter" component SHOULD be present but have
type NULL.
3.2. Algorithm URIs
The following URIs have been allocated for these schemes:
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-224
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-256
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-384
http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-512
As usual, when used in the context of [5], the <ds:HMACOutputLength>
element may specify the truncated length of the scheme output.
4. Test Vectors
4.1. Introduction
The test vectors in this document have been cross-verified by three
independent implementations. An implementation that concurs with the
results provided in this document should be interoperable with other
similar implementations.
Keys, data, and digests are provided in hex.

5. Security Considerations
This document is intended to provide the identifications and test
vectors for the four identified message authentication code schemes
to the Internet community. No assertion of the security of these
message authentication code schemes for any particular use is
intended. The reader is referred to [1] for a discussion of the
general security of the HMAC construction.

6. Acknowledgements
The test cases in this document are derived from the test cases in
[6], although the keys and data are slightly different.
Thanks to Jim Schaad and Brad Hards for assistance in verifying the
results.
