hash_hmac — Generate a keyed hash value using the HMAC method
Description
$algo
, string $data
, string $key
[, bool $raw_output = false
] )Parameters
-
algo -
Name of selected hashing algorithm (i.e. "md5", "sha256", "haval160,4", etc..) See hash_algos() for a list of supported algorithms.
-
data -
Message to be hashed.
-
key -
Shared secret key used for generating the HMAC variant of the message digest.
-
raw_output -
When set to
TRUE, outputs raw binary data.FALSEoutputs lowercase hexits.
Return Values
Returns a string containing the calculated message digest as lowercase hexits
unless raw_output is set to true in which case the raw
binary representation of the message digest is returned.
Returns FALSE when algo is unknown.
Examples
Example #1 hash_hmac() example
<?php
echo hash_hmac('ripemd160', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.', 'secret');
?>

Sometimes a hosting provider doesn't provide access to the Hash extension. Here is a clone of the hash_hmac function you can use in the event you need an HMAC generator and Hash is not available. It's only usable with MD5 and SHA1 encryption algorithms, but its output is identical to the official hash_hmac function (so far at least).
<?php
function custom_hmac($algo, $data, $key, $raw_output = false)
{
$algo = strtolower($algo);
$pack = 'H'.strlen($algo('test'));
$size = 64;
$opad = str_repeat(chr(0x5C), $size);
$ipad = str_repeat(chr(0x36), $size);
if (strlen($key) > $size) {
$key = str_pad(pack($pack, $algo($key)), $size, chr(0x00));
} else {
$key = str_pad($key, $size, chr(0x00));
}
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($key) - 1; $i++) {
$opad[$i] = $opad[$i] ^ $key[$i];
$ipad[$i] = $ipad[$i] ^ $key[$i];
}
$output = $algo($opad.pack($pack, $algo($ipad.$data)));
return ($raw_output) ? pack($pack, $output) : $output;
}
?>
Example Use:
<?php
custom_hmac('sha1', 'Hello, world!', 'secret', true);
?>
For signing an Amazon AWS query, base64-encode the binary value:
<?php
$Sig = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', $Request, $AmazonSecretKey, true));
?>
The Implementation of the PBKDF2 key derivation function as described in RFC 2898 can be used to not only get the hashed KEY but also a specific IV.
To use, one would use it as follows:-
<?php
$p = str_hash_pbkdf2($pw, $salt, 10, 32, 'sha1');
$p = base64_encode($p);
$iv = str_hash_pbkdf2($pw, $salt, 10, 16, 'sha1', 32);
$iv = base64_encode($iv);
?>
The function should be:-
<?php
// PBKDF2 Implementation (described in RFC 2898)
//
// @param string p password
// @param string s salt
// @param int c iteration count (use 1000 or higher)
// @param int kl derived key length
// @param string a hash algorithm
// @param int st start position of result
//
// @return string derived key
function str_hash_pbkdf2($p, $s, $c, $kl, $a = 'sha256', $st=0)
{
$kb = $start+$kl; // Key blocks to compute
$dk = ''; // Derived key
// Create key
for ($block=1; $block<=$kb; $block++)
{
// Initial hash for this block
$ib = $h = hash_hmac($a, $s . pack('N', $block), $p, true);
// Perform block iterations
for ($i=1; $i<$c; $i++)
{
// XOR each iterate
$ib ^= ($h = hash_hmac($a, $h, $p, true));
}
$dk .= $ib; // Append iterated block
}
// Return derived key of correct length
return substr($dk, $start, $kl);
}
?>
Simple implementation of hmac sha1
<?php
function hmac_sha1($key, $data)
{
// Adjust key to exactly 64 bytes
if (strlen($key) > 64) {
$key = str_pad(sha1($key, true), 64, chr(0));
}
if (strlen($key) < 64) {
$key = str_pad($key, 64, chr(0));
}
// Outter and Inner pad
$opad = str_repeat(chr(0x5C), 64);
$ipad = str_repeat(chr(0x36), 64);
// Xor key with opad & ipad
for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($key); $i++) {
$opad[$i] = $opad[$i] ^ $key[$i];
$ipad[$i] = $ipad[$i] ^ $key[$i];
}
return sha1($opad.sha1($ipad.$data, true));
}
Here is an efficient PBDKF2 implementation:
<?php
/*
* PBKDF2 key derivation function as defined by RSA's PKCS #5: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2898.txt
* $algorithm - The hash algorithm to use. Recommended: SHA256
* $password - The password.
* $salt - A salt that is unique to the password.
* $count - Iteration count. Higher is better, but slower. Recommended: At least 1024.
* $key_length - The length of the derived key in bytes.
* $raw_output - If true, the key is returned in raw binary format. Hex encoded otherwise.
* Returns: A $key_length-byte key derived from the password and salt.
*
* Test vectors can be found here: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6070.txt
*
* This implementation of PBKDF2 was originally created by defuse.ca
* With improvements by variations-of-shadow.com

function pbkdf2($algorithm, $password, $salt, $count, $key_length, $raw_output = false)
{
$algorithm = strtolower($algorithm);
if(!in_array($algorithm, hash_algos(), true))
die('PBKDF2 ERROR: Invalid hash algorithm.');
if($count <= 0 || $key_length <= 0)
die('PBKDF2 ERROR: Invalid parameters.');
$hash_length = strlen(hash($algorithm, "", true));
$block_count = ceil($key_length / $hash_length);
$output = "";
for($i = 1; $i <= $block_count; $i++) {
// $i encoded as 4 bytes, big endian.
$last = $salt . pack("N", $i);
// first iteration
$last = $xorsum = hash_hmac($algorithm, $last, $password, true);
// perform the other $count - 1 iterations
for ($j = 1; $j < $count; $j++) {
$xorsum ^= ($last = hash_hmac($algorithm, $last, $password, true));
}
$output .= $xorsum;
}
if($raw_output)
return substr($output, 0, $key_length);
else
return bin2hex(substr($output, 0, $key_length));
}

function oauth_totp($key, $time, $digits=8, $crypto='sha256')
{
$digits = intval($digits);
$result = null;
// Convert counter to binary (64-bit)
$data = pack('NNC*', $time >> 32, $time & 0xFFFFFFFF);

$data = str_pad($data, 8, chr(0), STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
// Get the hash

Please be careful when comparing hashes. In certain cases, information can be leaked by using a timing attack. It takes advantage of the == operator only comparing until it finds a difference in the two strings. To prevent it, you have two options.
Option 1: hash both hashed strings first - this doesn't stop the timing difference, but it makes the information useless.
<?php
if (md5($hashed_value) === md5($hashed_expected)) {
echo "hashes match!";
}
?>
Option 2: always compare the whole string.
<?php
if (hash_compare($hashed_value, $hashed_expected)) {
echo "hashes match!";
}
function hash_compare($a, $b) {
if (!is_string($a) || !is_string($b)) {
return false;
}
$len = strlen($a);
if ($len !== strlen($b)) {
return false;
}
$status = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$status |= ord($a[$i]) ^ ord($b[$i]);
}
return $status === 0;
}
?>
As Michael uggests we should take care not to compare the hash using == (or ===). Since PHP version 5.6 we can now use hash_equals().
So the example will be:
<?php
if (hash_equals($hashed_expected, $hashed_value) ) {
echo "hashes match!";
}
?>
Very important notice, if you pass array to $data, php will generate a Warning, return a NULL and continue your application. Which I think is critical vulnerability as this function used to check authorisation typically.
Example:
<?php
var_dump(hash_hmac('sha256', [], 'secret'));
WARNING hash_hmac() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given on line number 3
NULL
?>
Of course not documented feature.
Function for those, who really need to use crc32 algorithm in PHP>7.1
<?php
function hash_hmac_crc32(string $key, string $data): string
{
$b = 4;
if (strlen($key) > $b) {
$key = pack("H*", hash('crc32', $key));
}
$key = str_pad($key, $b, chr(0x00));
$ipad = str_pad('', $b, chr(0x36));
$opad = str_pad('', $b, chr(0x5c));
$k_ipad = $key ^ $ipad;
$k_opad = $key ^ $opad;
return hash('crc32', $k_opad . hash('crc32', $k_ipad . $data, true));
}
?>
While implementing a TOTP application, please note that hash_hmac() must receive data in binary, not in a hexadecimal string, to generate a valid OTP across platforms.
This problem can be easily fixed by converting a hexadecimal string to its binary form before passing it to hash_hmac().
<?php
$time = hex2bin('0000000003523f77'); // time must be in this "hexadecimal and padded" form
$key = hex2bin('bb57d1...'); // 160-bits = 40-digit hexadecimal (4 bits) = 32-digit base32 (5 bits)
hash_hmac('sha1', $time, $key);
?>
