Fields
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| None | 0 | A mask indicating that there is no hash algorithm. If you specify None for a multi-module assembly, the common language runtime defaults to the SHA1 algorithm, since multi-module assemblies need to generate a hash. |
| MD5 | 32771 | Retrieves the MD5 message-digest algorithm. Due to collision problems with MD5, Microsoft recommends SHA256. MD5 was developed by Rivest in 1991. It is basically MD4 with safety-belts and, while it is slightly slower than MD4, it helps provide more security. The algorithm consists of four distinct rounds, which has a slightly different design from that of MD4. Message-digest size, as well as padding requirements, remain the same. |
| Sha1 | 32772 | Retrieves a revision of the Secure Hash Algorithm that corrects an unpublished flaw in SHA. Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends SHA256. |
| Sha256 | 32780 | Retrieves a version of the Secure Hash Algorithm with a hash size of 256 bits. |
| Sha384 | 32781 | Retrieves a version of the Secure Hash Algorithm with a hash size of 384 bits. |
| Sha512 | 32782 | Retrieves a version of the Secure Hash Algorithm with a hash size of 512 bits. |
