| Algorithm ID | Description | Comments |
|---|
| CALG_MD5 | MD5 hashing algorithm. | Provided only for hashing. |
| CALG_SHA | SHA hashing algorithm. | Must be used for DSS signatures. |
| CALG_SHA1 | Same as CALG_SHA. | No comment. |
| CALG_DSS_SIGN | DSS public/private key signature algorithm. | Key length: can be set, 512 bits to 1,024 bits in 64 bit increments.
Default key length: 1,024 bits.
