Note that HMAC-SHA-256 is a MAC (keyed hash) function, while SHA-256 is an unkeyed message digest. HMAC-SHA-256 uses SHA-256 internally as a primitive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
