Similarly to the cryptohash implementations, this refactors the existing HMAC code into a single set of APIs that can be plugged with any crypto libraries PostgreSQL is built with (only OpenSSL currently). If there is no such libraries, a fallback implementation is available. Those new APIs are designed similarly to the existing cryptohash layer, so there is no real new design here, with the same logic around buffer bound checks and memory handling. HMAC has a dependency on cryptohashes, so all the cryptohash types supported by cryptohash{_openssl}.c can be used with HMAC. This refactoring is an advantage mainly for SCRAM, that included its own implementation of HMAC with SHA256 without relying on the existing crypto libraries even if PostgreSQL was built with their support. This code has been tested on Windows and Linux, with and without OpenSSL, across all the versions supported on HEAD from 1.1.1 down to 1.0.1. I have also checked that the implementations are working fine using some sample results, a custom extension of my own, and doing cross-checks across different major versions with SCRAM with the client and the backend.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
