+HMAC
+----
+
+With the optional property ``algo = "hmac(<HASH>)";`` a HMAC algorithm
+can be defined to detect unauthorized modification of the state's
+header and/or data. For this to work the HMAC and the selected hash
+algorithm have to be compiled into barebox.
+
+The shared secret for the HMAC is requested via
+``keystore_get_secret()``, using the state's name, from the barebox
+simple keystore. It's up to the developer to populate the keystore via
+``keystore_set_secret()`` in beforehand.
