# HMAC generator and verifier

Keyed MACs over any text: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 through WebCrypto, keys as text, hex, or base64. RFC 4231-exact, computed in your tab.

- No encryption, only authentication: an HMAC proves the message and key match. It hides nothing.
- The shared secret lives in this tab’s memory while you work, nothing is sent or stored, a browser tab cannot guarantee the memory is zeroized after, and browser extensions can read page content.
- The comparison here is for pasted digests, not live secrets. Production verifiers compare in constant time.
- SHA-1 HMAC still resists collision attacks in this role, but new systems pick SHA-256 or better.
