NAME
       HMAC::SHA1 - Perl module to compute an HMAC SHA-1 digest.

SYNOPSIS
        use HMAC::SHA1;
        hex($string, $key) returns a 20 byte digest in binary form.
        hexhash($string, $key) returns a 20 byte digest as printable hex.


DESCRIPTION
        This module computes an HMAC SHA-1 digest as specified by RFC 2104.


EXAMPLE
        use HMAC::SHA1;
        print HMAC::SHA1::hexhash("what do ya want for nothing?", "Jefe"),
              " should be effcdf6ae5eb2fa2d27416d5f184df9c259a7c79\n";

SEE ALSO
        RFC 2104        - HMAC specification.
        RFC 2202        - HMAC test cases.
        FIPS PUB 180-1  - SHA-1 specification.
