Objective-C sample code for HMAC-SHA1

This works without using custom protocols, using some code from http://cocoawithlove.com/2009/07/hashvalue-object-for-holding-md5-and.html

HashSHA256.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h>

@interface HashSHA256 : NSObject {


}

 - (NSString *) hashedValue :(NSString *) key andData: (NSString *) data ; 

@end

HashSHA256.m

#import "HashSHA256.h"

#import <CommonCrypto/CommonHMAC.h>


@implementation HashSHA256


- (NSString *) hashedValue :(NSString *) key andData: (NSString *) data {


    const char *cKey  = [key cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    const char *cData = [data cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    unsigned char cHMAC[CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
    CCHmac(kCCHmacAlgSHA256, cKey, strlen(cKey), cData, strlen(cData), cHMAC);

    NSString *hash;

    NSMutableString* output = [NSMutableString   stringWithCapacity:CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH * 2];

    for(int i = 0; i < CC_SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++)
        [output appendFormat:@"%02x", cHMAC[i]];
    hash = output;
    return hash;

}

@end

Usage:

- (NSString *) encodePassword: (NSString *) myPassword {
    HashSHA256 * hashSHA256 = [[HashSHA256 alloc] init];   
    NSString * result = [hashSHA256 hashedValue:mySecretSalt andData:myPassword];       
    return result;       
}
