salted_hmac

Return the HMAC of 'value', using a key generated from key_salt and a secret (which defaults to settings.SECRET_KEY). Default algorithm is SHA1, but any algorithm name supported by hashlib can be passed.

Removed in Django70Warning: The default algorithm will change to SHA256
in Django 7.0, so provide an explicit algorithm to silence the warning.

A different key_salt should be passed in for every application of HMAC.

def salted_hmac(
    key_salt: string|bytes,
    value: string|bytes,
    secret: string|bytes = None,
    algorithm: string = None
) - > hmac.HMAC

Return the HMAC of 'value', using a key generated from key_salt and a secret (which defaults to settings.SECRET_KEY). Default algorithm is SHA1, but any algorithm name supported by hashlib can be passed.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key_salt	`string	bytes`
value	`string	bytes`
secret	`string	bytes` = None
algorithm	string = None	The name of the hashing algorithm to use (e.g., 'sha256'); defaults to 'sha1' with a deprecation warning.

Returns

Type	Description
hmac.HMAC	An HMAC object containing the message authentication code for the provided value.
