hash_hmac in using pure classic ASP

Question

I want to know, is there any way to achieve hash_hmac("sha256", $token, $signkey, true) (php) in classic ASP?

I need it to verificate the signed_request from Facebook https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/login/signed-request/

// Adding the verification of the signed_request below
$expected_sig = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $secret, $raw = true); 
if ($sig !== $expected_sig) {
  error_log('Bad Signed JSON signature!');
  return null;
}

I have been using a file I found on an Amazon forum. This is the thread: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=147377

It uses a .wsc file, which is just a JScript file that defines a object you can use in your ASP code. Like this:

' ### be sure to have sha256.wsc in the same folder as this script
    Dim sha256
    Set sha256 = GetObject( "script:" & Server.MapPath("sha256.wsc") )
    sha256.hexcase = 0

    Dim result
    result = sha256.b64_hmac_sha256( secretkey, stringtosign )

This is a file which was originally used to sign request to the Amazon API. For reasons I don't understand this included this line of code in .wsc file:

d=d.replace ( /\s/g, "\n");

This converts all whitespace characters, including spaces, to '\n'. Hard to believe that spaces need to be converted to "\n". Anyway, I had to comment out this line to make the code work for me! And it does work. I have been using it for a while without problems.

From the sha256.wsc file:

have a look at the microsoft capicom.dll. you can download it here

the reference can be found here

another option is to implement the function with a .net class and make that "com visible" so you can use the .net DLL from classic asp...
