Methods

	Name	Description
	Clear	Releases all resources used by the HashAlgorithm class. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)
	ComputeHash(array<Byte[])	Computes the hash value for the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)
	ComputeHash(Stream)	Computes the hash value for the specified Stream object. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)
	ComputeHash(array<Byte[], Int32, Int32)	Computes the hash value for the specified region of the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)
	Dispose	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the HMAC class when a key change is legitimate and optionally releases the managed resources. (Overrides KeyedHashAlgorithm.Dispose(Boolean).)
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	HashCore	When overridden in a derived class, routes data written to the object into the default HMAC hash algorithm for computing the hash value. (Overrides HashAlgorithm.HashCore(array<Byte[], Int32, Int32).)
	HashFinal	When overridden in a derived class, finalizes the hash computation after the last data is processed by the cryptographic stream object. (Overrides HashAlgorithm.HashFinal().)
	Initialize	Initializes an instance of the default implementation of HMAC. (Overrides HashAlgorithm.Initialize().)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	TransformBlock	Computes the hash value for the specified region of the input byte array and copies the resulting hash value to the specified region of the output byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)
	TransformFinalBlock	Computes the hash value for the specified region of the specified byte array. (Inherited from HashAlgorithm.)

Remarks

A Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) can be used to determine whether a message sent over an insecure channel has been tampered with, provided that the sender and receiver share a secret key. The sender computes the hash value for the original data and sends both the original data and the HMAC as a single message. The receiver recomputes the hash value on the received message and checks that the computed hash value matches the transmitted hash value.

HMAC can be used with any iterative cryptographic hash function, such as MD5 or SHA-1, in combination with a secret shared key. The cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the properties of the underlying hash function.

Any change to the data or the hash value results in a mismatch, because knowledge of the secret key is required to change the message and reproduce the correct hash value. Therefore, if the original and computed hash values match, the message is authenticated.
