Manual

sodium_crypto_auth( string$message, string$key ): string

Symmetric message authentication via sodium_crypto_auth provides integrity, but not confidentiality.

Unlike with digital signatures (e.g. sodium_crypto_sign_detached), any party capable of verifying a message is also capable of authenticating their own messages. (Hence, symmetric authentication.)

key

Authentication tag
