What it calculates
Computes a DES CBC-MAC or a retail MAC.
Inputs and methods
Algorithm 1 uses an 8-byte DES key; Algorithm 3 uses a 16-byte TDES key. HEX input and mode-specific padding.
Worked example
Select Algorithm 3, Method 1, key 0123456789ABCDEFFEDCBA9876543210, data HEX 4E6F77206973207468652074696D6520666F7220616C6C20.
