Abstract
This document provides test vectors for the HMAC-SHA-224,
HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 message authentication
schemes. It also provides ASN.1 object identifiers and Uniform
Resource Identifiers (URIs) to identify use of these schemes in
protocols. The test vectors provided in this document may be used
for conformance testing.

Introduction This document provides test vectors for the HMAC-SHA-224, HMAC-SHA-256, HMAC-SHA-384, and HMAC-SHA-512 message authentication schemes. It also provides ASN.1 object identifiers and URIs to identify use of these schemes in protocols using ASN.1 constructs (such as those built on Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) [4]) or protocols based on XML constructs (such as those leveraging XML Digital Signatures [5]). HMAC-SHA-224 is the realization of the HMAC message authentication code [1] using the SHA-224 hash function, HMAC-SHA-256 is the realization of the HMAC message authentication code using the SHA-256 hash function, HMAC-SHA-384 is the realization of the HMAC message authentication code using the SHA-384 hash function, and HMAC-SHA-512 is the realization of the HMAC message authentication code using the SHA-512 hash function. SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are all described in [2]. 2. Conventions Used in This Document The key word "SHOULD" in this document is to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [3].

RFC 4231 HMAC-SHA Identifiers and Test Vectors December 2005 3. Scheme Identifiers 3.1. ASN.1 Object Identifiers The following ASN.1 object identifiers have been allocated for these schemes: rsadsi OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)} digestAlgorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {rsadsi 2} id-hmacWithSHA224 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 8} id-hmacWithSHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 9} id-hmacWithSHA384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 10} id-hmacWithSHA512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {digestAlgorithm 11} When the "algorithm" component in a value of ASN.1 type AlgorithmIdentifier (see, e.g., [4], Section 10) identifies one of these schemes, the "parameter" component SHOULD be present but have type NULL. 3.2. Algorithm URIs The following URIs have been allocated for these schemes: http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-224 http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-256 http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-384 http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/pkcs/schemas/pkcs-5#hmac-sha-512 As usual, when used in the context of [5], the <ds:HMACOutputLength> element may specify the truncated length of the scheme output. 4. Test Vectors 4.1. Introduction The test vectors in this document have been cross-verified by three independent implementations. An implementation that concurs with the results provided in this document should be interoperable with other similar implementations. Keys, data, and digests are provided in hex.

Security Considerations This document is intended to provide the identifications and test vectors for the four identified message authentication code schemes to the Internet community. No assertion of the security of these message authentication code schemes for any particular use is intended. The reader is referred to [1] for a discussion of the general security of the HMAC construction. Nystrom Standards Track [Page 7]
