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.
