EVP_MAC-GMAC(7)                     OpenSSL                    EVP_MAC-GMAC(7)



NAME
       EVP_MAC-GMAC - The GMAC EVP_MAC implementation

DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing GMAC MACs through the EVP_MAC API.

       This implementation uses EVP_CIPHER functions to get access to the
       underlying cipher.

   Identity
       This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
       used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

       "GMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"

   Supported parameters
       The general description of these parameters can be found in
       "PARAMETERS" in EVP_MAC(3).

       The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():

       "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).

       "iv" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_IV) <octet string>
           Sets the IV of the underlying cipher, when applicable.

       "cipher" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER) <UTF8 string>
           Sets the name of the underlying cipher to be used.

       "properties" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
           Sets the properties to be queried when trying to fetch the
           underlying cipher.  This must be given together with the cipher
           naming parameter to be considered valid.

       The following parameters can be retrieved with
       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():

       "size" (OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE) <unsigned integer>
           Gets the MAC size.

       The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with
       EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().  The length of the "size" parameter is
       equal to that of an unsigned int.
