=head1 NAME

EVP_MAC-GMAC - The GMAC EVP_MAC implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Support for computing GMAC MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.

This implementation uses EVP_CIPHER functions to get access to the underlying
cipher.

=head2 Identity

This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

=over 4

=item "GMAC", "provider=default" or "provider=fips"

=back

=head2 Supported parameters

The general description of these parameters can be found in
L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.

The following parameter can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params():

=over 4

=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>

Sets the MAC key.
Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.

=item "iv" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_IV>) <octet string>

Sets the IV of the underlying cipher, when applicable.

=item "cipher" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_CIPHER>) <UTF8 string>

Sets the name of the underlying cipher to be used.

=item "properties" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>

Sets the properties to be queried when trying to fetch the underlying cipher.
This must be given together with the cipher naming parameter to be considered
valid.

=back

The following parameters can be retrieved with
EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params():

=over 4

=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>

Gets the MAC size.

=back

The "size" parameter can also be retrieved with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
The length of the "size" parameter is equal to that of an B<unsigned int>.
