// Package poly1305 implements Poly1305 one-time message authentication code as
// specified in https://cr.yp.to/mac/poly1305-20050329.pdf.
//
// Poly1305 is a fast, one-time authentication function. It is infeasible for an
// attacker to generate an authenticator for a message without the key. However, a
// key must only be used for a single message. Authenticating two different
// messages with the same key allows an attacker to forge authenticators for other
// messages with the same key.
//
// Poly1305 was originally coupled with AES in order to make Poly1305-AES. AES was
// used with a fixed key in order to generate one-time keys from an nonce.
// However, in this package AES isn't used and the one-time key is specified
// directly.
//
// Deprecated: Poly1305 as implemented by this package is a cryptographic
// building block that is not safe for general purpose use.
// For encryption, use the full ChaCha20-Poly1305 construction implemented by
// golang.org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305. For authentication, use a general
// purpose MAC such as HMAC implemented by crypto/hmac.

// TagSize is the size, in bytes, of a poly1305 authenticator.

// can be used instead.

// Sum generates an authenticator for msg using a one-time key and puts the
// 16-byte result into out. Authenticating two different messages with the same
// key allows an attacker to forge messages at will.

// New returns a new MAC computing an authentication
// tag of all data written to it with the given key.
// This allows writing the message progressively instead
// of passing it as a single slice. Common users should use
// the Sum function instead.

// Sum or Verify causes it to panic.

// message authentication code.
