Calculat local prin SubtleCrypto — mesajul și secretul tău nu părăsesc niciodată dispozitivul. Necesită un context securizat (https sau localhost).
Write a Python `hmac.compare_digest` verifier for HMAC-SHA-256. Read the secret from an environment variable - never hardcode it. Test vector - message: ``, expected MAC (hex): ``.

What it does
The
HMACHMACA construction that combines a hash function with a secret key to prove a message is intact and came from someone holding the key.
Generator computes a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) for a message and a secret, using SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. HMAC is how services like Stripe and GitHub sign webhooks so you can verify a payload genuinely came from them. AllhashinghashingA one-way function that maps data of any size to a fixed-length digest. Same input, same digest; any change, different digest; not reversible.
uses the browser’s Web Crypto API - your message and secret never leave your device.How to use it
- Enter the Message (the payload you want to sign).
- Enter the Secret (the shared signing key).
- Pick the Algorithm (SHA-256 is the modern default).
- Copy the resulting hex digest.
Examples

Good to know
- Use SHA-256 or stronger for new systems; SHA-1
