Test Cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1

Abstract
This document provides two sets of test cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-
SHA-1, respectively. HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1 are two constructs of
the HMAC [HMAC] message authentication function using the MD5 [MD5]
hash function and the SHA-1 [SHA] hash function. Both constructs are
used by IPSEC [OG,CG] and other protocols to authenticate messages.
The test cases and results provided in this document are meant to be
used as a conformance test for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1
implementations.
1. Introduction
The general method for constructing a HMAC message authentication
function using a particular hash function is described in section 2
of [HMAC]. We will not repeat the description here. Section 5 of
[HMAC] also discusses truncating the output of HMAC; the rule is that
we should keep the more significant bits (the bits in the left,
assuming a network byte order (big-endian)).
In sections 2 and 3 we provide test cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-
1, respectively. Each case includes the key, the data, and the
result. The values of keys and data are either hexadecimal numbers
(prefixed by "0x") or ASCII character strings in double quotes. If a
value is an ASCII character string, then the HMAC computation for the
corresponding test case DOES NOT include the trailing null character
('\0') in the string.

RFC 2202 Test Cases for HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA-1 September 1997
The C source code of the functions used to generate HMAC-SHA-1
results is listed in the Appendix. Note that these functions are
meant to be simple and easy to understand; they are not optimized in
any way. The C source code for computing HMAC-MD5 can be found in
[MD5]; or you can do a simple modification to HMAC-SHA-1 code to get
HMAC-MD5 code, as explained in the Appendix.
The test cases in this document are cross-verified by three
independent implementations, one from NIST and two from IBM Research.
One IBM implementation uses optimized code that is very different
from the code in the Appendix. An implemenation that concurs with the
results provided in this document should be interoperable with other
similar implemenations. We do not claim that such an implementation
is absolutely correct with respect to the HMAC definition in [HMAC].

This docuemnt raises no security issues. Discussion on the strength
of the HMAC construction can be found in [HMAC].

Appendix
This appendix contains the C reference code which implements HMAC-
SHA-1 using an existing SHA-1 library. It assumes that the SHA-1
library has similar API's as those of the MD5 code described in RFC
1321. The code for HMAC-MD5 is similar, just replace the strings
"SHA" and "sha" with "MD5" and "md5". HMAC-MD5 code is also listed in
RFC 2104.
