/**

 * The basic visible methods of any MAC (Message Authentication Code) algorithm.

 * <p>

 * A <i>MAC</i> provides a way to check the integrity of information

 * transmitted over, or stored in, an unreliable medium, based on a secret key.

 * Typically, <i>MAC</i>s are used between two parties, that share a common

 * secret key, in order to validate information transmitted between them.

 * <p>

 * When a <i>MAC</i> algorithm is based on a cryptographic hash function, it is

 * then called to a <i>HMAC</i> (Hashed Message Authentication Code) --see <a

 * href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc-2104.txt">RFC-2104</a>.

 * <p>

 * Another type of <i>MAC</i> algorithms exist: UMAC or <i>Universal Message

 * Authentication Code</i>, described in <a

 * href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-krovetz-umac-01.txt">

 * draft-krovetz-umac-01.txt</a>.

 * <p>

 * With <i>UMAC</i>s, the sender and receiver share a common secret key (the

 * <i>MAC</i> key) which determines:

 * <ul>

 * <li>The key for a <i>universal hash function</i>. This hash function is

 * <i>non-cryptographic</i>, in the sense that it does not need to have any

 * cryptographic <i>hardness</i> property. Rather, it needs to satisfy some

 * combinatorial property, which can be proven to hold without relying on

 * unproven hardness assumptions.</li>

 * <li>The key for a <i>pseudorandom function</i>. This is where one needs a

 * cryptographic hardness assumption. The pseudorandom function may be obtained

 * from a <i>block cipher</i> or a <i>cryptographic hash function</i>. </li>

 * </ul>
