+HMAC and CMAC both use the ``MACContext`` interface:

+.. class:: MACContext
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.7
+
+ .. method:: update(data)

+ :return: The message authentication code.

+ .. method:: copy()
+
+ :return: A

+ is a copy of the current context.

+ .. method:: verify(signature)
+
+ :param bytes signature: The signature to verify.
+
+ :raises cryptography.exceptions.InvalidSignature: This is raised when
+ the provided signature does not match the expected signature.
