SHA256 with a key

[antonio]

I'm trying to do a SHA256 hash of a string using the HMAC method, using my secret key as the hash key.
scopes.svyCrypto.getSHA256() doesn't take a secret key as an argument.
scopes.svyCrypto.getHash() also doesn't take a secret key as an argument
scopes.svyCrypto.createOptions() allows a key and algorithm to be set, but I get an error Unsupported Algorithm: SHA-256

I've also looked at it2be cryptor plugin.

Any suggestions?

I've done this before using inline java:

Code: Select all

function encode(key, data) {
   var sha256_HMAC = javax.crypto.Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA256");
   var secret_key = new javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec(getStringBytes(key), "HmacSHA256");
   sha256_HMAC.init(secret_key);
   var encodedVal = org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex.encodeHexString(sha256_HMAC.doFinal(getStringBytes(data)));
   return encodedVal;
}

Nice tip, thanks Joas!
