CryptographicProviderType Enumeration
.NET Framework 1.1
Specifies the cryptographic service providers available for validating digital signatures.
[Visual Basic] <Serializable> Public Enum CryptographicProviderType [C#] [Serializable] public enum CryptographicProviderType [C++] [Serializable] __value public enum CryptographicProviderType [JScript] public Serializable enum CryptographicProviderType
Remarks
A cryptographic service provider contains implementations of cryptographic standards and algorithms. Applications can require the authentication provider name or authentication provider type of a cryptographic service provider to validate the digital signatures.
Members
| Member name | Description |
|---|---|
| Dss | A provider type that, like RsqSig, only supports hashes and digital signatures. Dss specifies the DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) 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.
Note This provider type is preliminary. |
| 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.
Note 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. |
| Ssl | A provider type that supports the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. |
| SttAcq | Secure Transaction Technology Provider. |
| SttBrnd | Secure Transaction Technology Provider. |
| SttIss | Secure Transaction Technology Provider. |
| SttMer | Secure Transaction Technology Provider. |
| SttRoot | Secure Transaction Technology Provider. |
