// Package poly1305 implements Poly1305 one-time message authentication code as
// specified in https://cr.yp.to/mac/poly1305-20050329.pdf.
//
// Poly1305 is a fast, one-time authentication function. It is infeasible for an
// attacker to generate an authenticator for a message without the key. However, a
// key must only be used for a single message. Authenticating two different
// messages with the same key allows an attacker to forge authenticators for other
// messages with the same key.
//
// Poly1305 was originally coupled with AES in order to make Poly1305-AES. AES was
// used with a fixed key in order to generate one-time keys from an nonce.
// However, in this package AES isn't used and the one-time key is specified
// directly.
package poly1305 // import "golang.org/x/crypto/poly1305"
import "crypto/subtle"
// TagSize is the size, in bytes, of a poly1305 authenticator.
const TagSize = 16
// Sum generates an authenticator for msg using a one-time key and puts the
// 16-byte result into out. Authenticating two different messages with the same
// key allows an attacker to forge messages at will.
func Sum(out *[16]byte, m []byte, key *[32]byte) {
sum(out, m, key)
}
// Verify returns true if mac is a valid authenticator for m with the given key.
func Verify(mac *[16]byte, m []byte, key *[32]byte) bool {
var tmp [16]byte
Sum(&tmp, m, key)
return subtle.ConstantTimeCompare(tmp[:], mac[:]) == 1
}
// New returns a new MAC computing an authentication
// tag of all data written to it with the given key.
// This allows writing the message progressively instead
// of passing it as a single slice. Common users should use
// the Sum function instead.
//
// The key must be unique for each message, as authenticating
// two different messages with the same key allows an attacker
// to forge messages at will.

// of the data written to it.
//

// because using a poly1305 key twice breaks its security.
// Therefore writing data to a running MAC after calling
// Sum causes it to panic.
