If I run the openssl command line in hmac mode (as below), is the key used for the hmac used directly or is it hashed before using it as the key?
echo "foo" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary -hmac "test" | openssl base64
Similarly, when encrypting a file with openssl (as below)is the pass phrase hashed with the salt? (If so how is it done? A pointer to the right source file would be even better.)
openssl enc -salt
