HMAC
Hash-based Message Authentication Code, an algorithm that combines message content with a secret key to generate an authentication code. It is used to verify message integrity and source authenticity, and is commonly applied in API signing and tamper-proofing of authorization credentials.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Timing side-channel vulnerabilities arise from string comparison returning as soon as it encounters the first differing character, allowing an attacker to infer the correct HMAC value byte by byte by measuring response time; hmac.compare_digest eliminates this channel through constant-time comparison.
Scenarios such as HMAC signatures, OAuth tokens, and S3 presigned URLs all write the expiration time into the credential itself, rather than relying on a tacit agreement between both parties about the duration.
To address the issue of session loss in serverless multi-instance deployments, the team placed game sessions into GameID tokens using AES-GCM encryption and HMAC signatures, implementing a stateless solution with token rotation each round.
Cronhq uses HMAC-signed Webhooks when triggering external services to ensure the trustworthiness of the call source.
Common encryption schemes in local verification scenarios include RSA asymmetric encryption, HMAC symmetric signing, and AES encryption combined with timestamps to prevent replay attacks.
HMAC or digital signatures can be applied to authorization credentials by serializing the complete action description and including it within the signature scope, so that if parameters are modified during executor signature verification, the signature check will fail.
The system locks each client to prevent concurrent execution of the same client's agent from causing out-of-order conversation sequences, and webhooks carry an HMAC signature verified using a shared secret.
