EVP_MAC-SIPHASH(7SSL)               OpenSSL               EVP_MAC-SIPHASH(7SSL)

NAME
       EVP_MAC-Siphash - The Siphash EVP_MAC implementation

DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing Siphash MACs through the EVP_MAC API.

   Identity
       This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
       used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

       "SIPHASH", "provider=default"

   Supported parameters
       The general description of these parameters can be found in "PARAMETERS"
       in EVP_MAC(3).

       All   these   parameters   can  be  set  with  EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().
       Furthermore,   the   "size"   parameter   can    be    retrieved    with
       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(),   or   with  EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().   The
       length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a size_t.

       "key" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY) <octet string>
           Sets the MAC key.  Setting this parameter is identical to passing  a
           key to EVP_MAC_init(3).

       "size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
           Sets the MAC size.

       "c-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS) <unsigned integer>
           Specifies  the  number of rounds per message block.  By default this
           is 2.

       "d-rounds" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS) <unsigned integer>
           Specifies the number of finalisation rounds.  By default this is 4.
