Poly1305
========

.. currentmodule:: cryptography.hazmat.primitives.poly1305

.. testsetup::

    key = b"\x01" * 32

Poly1305 is an authenticator that takes a 32-byte key and a message and
produces a 16-byte tag. This tag is used to authenticate the message. Each key
**must** only be used once. Using the same key to generate tags for multiple
messages allows an attacker to forge tags. Poly1305 is described in
:rfc:`7539`.

.. class:: Poly1305(key)

    .. versionadded:: 2.7

    .. warning::

        Using the same key to generate tags for multiple messages allows an
        attacker to forge tags. Always generate a new key per message you want
        to authenticate. If you are using this as a MAC for
        symmetric encryption please use
        :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.aead.ChaCha20Poly1305`
        instead.

    .. doctest::

        >>> from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import poly1305
        >>> p = poly1305.Poly1305(key)
        >>> p.update(b"message to authenticate")
        >>> p.finalize()
        b'T\xae\xff3\xbdW\xef\xd5r\x01\xe2n=\xb7\xd2h'

    To check that a given tag is correct use the :meth:`verify` method.
    You will receive an exception if the tag is wrong:

    .. doctest::

        >>> p = poly1305.Poly1305(key)
        >>> p.update(b"message to authenticate")
        >>> p.verify(b"an incorrect tag")
        Traceback (most recent call last):
