HMAC-SHA224 Generator

Generate Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMAC) using the SHA-224 algorithm and a secret key.

About HMAC-SHA224

HMAC-SHA224 is a message authentication code based on the SHA-224 hash function. SHA-224 is a truncated version of SHA-256, providing a 224-bit output.

Use Case

It is often used where 112 bits of security (224/2) are required, specifically to match the security level of Triple DES. It follows the same HMAC construction principles as SHA-256 and SHA-512.
