HMAC SHA1 using Java

18 January 17:59 (EST)
Working with OpenID CFC project I found another way to create HMAC:SHA1 string using Java:

<cffunction name="HMAC_SHA1" returntype="binary" access="public" output="false">
   <cfargument name="signKey" type="string" required="true" />
   <cfargument name="signMessage" type="string" required="true" />

   <cfset var jMsg = JavaCast("string",arguments.signMessage).getBytes("iso-8859-1") />
   <cfset var jKey = JavaCast("string",arguments.signKey).getBytes("iso-8859-1") />

   <cfset var key = createObject("java","javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec") />
   <cfset var mac = createObject("java","javax.crypto.Mac") />

   <cfset key = key.init(jKey,"HmacSHA1") />

   <cfset mac = mac.getInstance(key.getAlgorithm()) />
   <cfset mac.init(key) />
   <cfset mac.update(jMsg) />

   <cfreturn mac.doFinal() />

</cffunction>

So I am going to include this code to next release of the project.

SHA stands for Secure Hash Algorithm. The SHA hash functions are five cryptographic hash functions designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.

In cryptography, a keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code, or HMAC, is a type of message authentication code (MAC) calculated using a specific algorithm involving a cryptographic hash function in combination with a secret key.
