Remarks

HMACSHA256 is a type of keyed hash algorithm that is constructed from the SHA-256 hash function and used as a Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC). The HMAC process mixes a secret key with the message data, hashes the result with the hash function, mixes that hash value with the secret key again, and then applies the hash function a second time. The output hash is 256 bits in length.

An 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 hash value as a single message. The receiver recalculates the hash value on the received message and checks that the computed HMAC matches the transmitted HMAC.

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.

HMACSHA256 accepts keys of any size, and produces a hash sequence 256 bits in length.

Examples

The following example shows how to encode and decode a file by using the HMACSHA256 class. The example has a very basic user interface, because its purpose is to demonstrate the HMACSHA256 class, not Silverlight controls. To build and run this example, create a Silverlight-based application in Visual Studio named HMACSHA256Example and replace the MainPage.xaml file and the MainPage.xaml.cs (or MainPage.xaml.vb) file with the following code.

Note:
If the XAML code is not displayed, click the Language Filter arrow at the top of this page, and select the XAML check box.
