Using KMF for HMAC Verification Hash-based message authentication code (or HMAC) is a common way to validate the authenticity of messages sent over the internet. For example, GitHub and Gitea rely on HMAC (SHA256) to secure webhooks.

One of the benefits of moving App Engine Studio and App Engine Management Center to the ServiceNow store, is that it allows the product team to make upgrades agnostic of the standard 6-month cycle or patch updates.
