Compute HMAC-SHA512 with secret key in java

Question

i want to build excatly a function which produces a HMAC with a secret key like this site provides:

http://www.freeformatter.com/hmac-generator.html

The java 8 lib only provides MessageDigest and KeyGenerator which both only supports up to SH256.

Also google doesnt give me any result to an implementation to generate a HMAC.

Does someone know a implementation?

I have this code to generate an ordinary SH256 but i guess this doesnt help me much:

   public static String get_SHA_512_SecurePassword(String passwordToHash) throws Exception {
    String generatedPassword = null;

    MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-512");
    byte[] bytes = md.digest(passwordToHash.getBytes("UTF-8"));
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    for (int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) {
        sb.append(Integer.toString((bytes[i] & 0xff) + 0x100, 16).substring(1));
    }
    generatedPassword = sb.toString();
    System.out.println(generatedPassword);
    return generatedPassword;
}

Answer 1

The simplest way can be -

private static final String HMAC_SHA512 = "HmacSHA512";

private static String toHexString(byte[] bytes) {
    Formatter formatter = new Formatter();
    for (byte b : bytes) {
        formatter.format("%02x", b);
    }
    return formatter.toString();
}

public static String calculateHMAC(String data, String key)
    throws SignatureException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeyException
{
    SecretKeySpec secretKeySpec = new SecretKeySpec(key.getBytes(), HMAC_SHA512);
    Mac mac = Mac.getInstance(HMAC_SHA512);
    mac.init(secretKeySpec);
    return toHexString(mac.doFinal(data.getBytes()));
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String hmac = calculateHMAC("data", "key");
    System.out.println(hmac);
}

You can change the HMAC_SHA512 variable to any of the Mac algorithm and the code will work the same way.
