=head1 NAME
EVP_MAC-Siphash - The Siphash EVP_MAC implementation
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Support for computing Siphash MACs through the B<EVP_MAC> API.
=head2 Identity
This implementation is identified with this name and properties, to be
used with EVP_MAC_fetch():

=head2 Supported parameters
The general description of these parameters can be found in
L<EVP_MAC(3)/PARAMETERS>.
All these parameters can be set with EVP_MAC_CTX_set_params().
Furthermore, the "size" parameter can be retrieved with
EVP_MAC_CTX_get_params(), or with EVP_MAC_CTX_get_mac_size().
The length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
=over 4
=item "key" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_KEY>) <octet string>
Sets the MAC key.
Setting this parameter is identical to passing a I<key> to L<EVP_MAC_init(3)>.
=item "size" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
Sets the MAC size.
=item "c-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_C_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
Specifies the number of rounds per message block. By default this is I<2>.
=item "d-rounds" (B<OSSL_MAC_PARAM_D_ROUNDS>) <unsigned integer>
Specifies the number of finalisation rounds. By default this is I<4>.
