HMAC-SHA1

Bash
The openssl package available in most linux distributions include a way of creating the HMAC-SHA1 string from the command line…
echo -n "string to sign" | openssl dgst -sha1 -hmac "my secret key"
(stdin)= a993876ea1218921a1c8551923473da7b310dfae
C\
Encoding encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
byte[] secretBytes = encoding.GetBytes(“my secret key”);
HMACSHA1 hmacsha1 = new HMACSHA1(secretBytes);
hmacsha1.ComputeHash(encoding.GetBytes(“string to sign”));
byte[] data = hmacsha1.Hash;
Javascript
Cryptographic functions are available from the CryptJS libaray at https://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/.
var stringToSign = “string to sign”;
var secret = “my secret key”;
var signature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(stringToSign, secret);
NodeJS
This code assumes you have the crypto-js library installed (npm install crypto-js)
$ cat hmacsha1.js 
var CryptoJS = require('crypto-js'),
    message = "string to sign",
    secret = "my secret key",
    sig = CryptoJS.HmacSHA1(message, secret);
console.log("" + sig);
​
$ node hmacsha1.js

Objective-C
HMAC-SHA1 functionality can be be included in IOS code by first adding the CommonCrypto library to your target, and including the following function in your appDelegate (or appropriate class)
#import <CommonCrypto/CommonDigest.h>
...
+(NSString*) hmac_sha1:(NSString*)input usingSecret:(NSString*)key
{
    const char *cKey = [key UTF8String];
    const char *cInput = [input UTF8String];
    unsigned char digest[CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH];
    if (cKey == nil || cInput == nil) {
        return @"";
    }
    NSMutableString *output = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH * 2];
    CCHmac(kCCHmacAlgSHA1, cKey, strlen(cKey), cInput, strlen(cInput), digest);
    for (int i = 0; i < CC_SHA1_DIGEST_LENGTH; i++) {
        [output appendFormat:@"%02x", digest[i]];
    }
    return output;
}
...
PHP
Generating the HMAC-SHA1 in PHP can be done using the following code.
<?php 
$stringToSign = “string to sign”;
$keySecret = “my secret key”;
$signature = hash_hmac(”sha1”, $stringToSign, $keySecret);
echo $signature;’
?>
This will generate an encrypted hash of the string. In this case the string will be

Ruby
Start up the ‘irb’ and try the following
irb(main):001:0> require('openssl')
=> true
irb(main):002:0> OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('sha1', 'my secret key', 'string to sign')
=> "a993876ea1218921a1c8551923473da7b310dfae"
