| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | No cryptographic provider type specified. | |
| RsaFull | The full RSA provider type, which supports both digital signatures and data encryption. Considered a general purpose cryptographic services provider. The RSA public-key algorithm is used for all public-key operations. RSA Data Security, Inc., is a major developer and publisher of public-key cryptography standards. The "RSA" in the name stands for the names of the company's three developers and the owners: Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman. | |
| RsqSig | A subset of the RsaFull provider type, which supports only those functions and algorithms required for hashes and digital signatures. | |
| Dss | A provider type that, like RsqSig, only supports hashes and digital signatures. Dss specifies the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature algorithm. | |
| Fortezza | A provider type that contains a set of cryptographic protocols and algorithms owned by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. | |
| MicrosoftExchange | A provider type designed for the cryptographic needs of the Microsoft Exchange mail application and other applications compatible with Microsoft Mail. This provider type is preliminary. | |
| Ssl | A provider type that supports the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. | |
| SttMer | Secure transaction technology provider enterprise. | |
| SttAcq | Secure transaction technology provider acquirer. | |
| SttBrnd | Secure transaction technology provider brand. | |
| SttRoot | Secure transaction technology provider root. | |
| SttIss | Secure transaction technology provider issuer. |
