About this tool
Generate HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) signatures for API authentication and webhook verification. Our tool supports HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, and HMAC-SHA512 algorithms. Enter a message and a secret key to generate the HMAC signature. HMAC combines a cryptographic hash function with a secret key to provide both data integrity and authentication — the recipient can verify that the message was not tampered with and was sent by someone who knows the secret key. Used extensively in API authentication (AWS Signature V4, Stripe webhooks, GitHub webhooks), JWT signing (HS256 = HMAC-SHA256), and secure message verification. All computation uses the Web Crypto API in your browser.
