Direct answer
To use hmac-generator, start with a small representative input, produce an output with the requested settings and verify its format, and inspect the result before relying on it.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: produce an output with the requested settings and verify its format.
- Check: entropy, input handling, output format and threat model.
- Limitation: a generator or checker is not a substitute for secure storage and review.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect entropy, input handling, output format and threat model.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a sample value created specifically for testing, never a real secret instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: a generator or checker is not a substitute for secure storage and review.
