// Package mac provides implementations of the MAC primitive.
//
// MAC computes a tag for a given message that can be used to authenticate a
// message.  MAC protects data integrity as well as provides for authenticity
// of the message.
//
// Example:
//
//   package main
//
//   import (
//       "fmt"
//
//       "github.com/google/tink/go/mac"
//       "github.com/google/tink/go/keyset"
//   )
//
//   func main() {
//
//       kh, err := keyset.NewHandle(mac.HMACSHA256Tag256KeyTemplate())
//       if err != nil {
//           // handle the error
//       }
//
//       m := mac.New(kh)
//
//       mac , err := m.ComputeMac([]byte("this data needs to be MACed"))
//       if err != nil {
//           // handle error
//       }
//
//       if m.VerifyMAC(mac, []byte("this data needs to be MACed")); err != nil {
//           //handle error
//       }
//
//   }
