C# equivalent to hash_hmac in PHP
using .NET and C# i need to provide an integrity string using HMAC SHA512 to a PHP server . Using in C# :
Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
byte[] keyByte = encoding.GetBytes(key);
HMACSHA512 hmacsha512 = new HMACSHA512(keyByte);
byte[] messageBytes = encoding.GetBytes(message);
byte[] hashmessage = hmacsha512.ComputeHash(messageBytes);
return(ByteToString(hashmessage).toUpper());
But it doesn't match with PHP hash_hmac() PHP code :
$hmac = strtoupper(hash_hmac($pbx_hash, $msg, $binKey));
I try to change encoding in C# (utf8, ASCII,Unicode) Without success.
I've tried many solution found on the net but nothing give the same string :(
I can't change the PHP code, and doesn't see what's wrong in C#
Edit This is ByteToString
(copied from the comment):
static string ByteToString(byte[] buff)
{
string sbinary = "";
for (int i = 0; i < buff.Length; i++)
{
sbinary += buff[i].ToString("X2"); /* hex format */
}
return (sbinary);
}
After many tets, in found that i get the same results if PHP hash_hmac key is a string, not a byte Array . Seems that the problem is with the PHP convert function $binKey = pack("H*", $keyTest);
The problem must be the actual representation of the key/message data.
See the following tests:
PHP
#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
print strtoupper(hash_hmac("sha256", "message", "key"));
?>

So, check the character set/encoding of the PHP input data. Also check the actual algorithm (in $pbx_hash
).
private static string HashHmac(string message, string secret)
{
Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
using (HMACSHA512 hmac = new HMACSHA512(encoding.GetBytes(secret)))
{
var msg = encoding.GetBytes(message);
var hash = hmac.ComputeHash(msg);
return BitConverter.ToString(hash).ToLower().Replace("-", string.Empty);
}
}
As said upper, the problem was with PHP Pack(H* function used to convert key to byte array. C# Getbytes doesn't give the same result (utf8, asci, unicode...). The solution found here : http://www.nuronconsulting.com/c-pack-h.aspx was ok for me. now HMAC from C# match with PHP !
public static byte[] PackH(string hex)
{
if ((hex.Length % 2) == 1) hex += '0';
byte[] bytes = new byte[hex.Length / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < hex.Length; i += 2)
{
bytes[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(hex.Substring(i, 2), 16);
}
return bytes;
}
Manu thanks to all for your help.
