The cryptographic module is based on an early draft of the EXPath Cryptographic Module and provides the following functionality:

  1. Creation of message authentication codes (HMAC)
  2. Creation and validation of an XML Digital Signature
  3. Encryption and decryption

crypto:hmac

Signatures crypto:hmac($message as xs:string(), $secret-key as xs:string(), algorithm as xs:string()) as xs:string()
crypto:hmac($message as xs:string(), $secret-key as xs:string(), algorithm as xs:string(), $encoding as xs:string()) as xs:string()
Summary Creates a message authentication code via a cryptographic hash function and a secret key. $encoding must either be hex, base64 or the empty string (default is base64) and specifies the encoding of the returned authentication code.
