Heres a Friday puzzler.. I am working on a transactional based security comparison from a 3rd party vendor to make sure each transaction between us is valid and genuine. I am given a key that is already base64 encoded. I have to convert it from base64 to be HMACSHA1'd. Once this conversion is done and I use another couple pieces of information that is given to me its then all HMAC'ed, I then compare this result to a given HMAC value.
Once I go from tobinary and then tostring, is that decoding UTF-8 compatable? I am told that the string that I am decoding is in UTF-8, so my decode must be UTF8. The company tells me this must all be done in BINARY, and that my decoder needs to be UTF-8 compatible. Are there any CF functions that can generate HMAC SHA1 in UTF-8?? I am completely new to the security hash thing, so I am not even sure where to start. Anyone with any pointers? I am under an NDA so I have to be specifically vague here. If you need to know more detail, let me know, and I will try to give more detail. I have c#, java and VB.net examples of this, but each one has underlying functions that aren't shown that makes it difficult for me to "translate" them to CF. Thanks all...
