Syntax

pbkdfcontrol.Algorithm[=integer]

Possible Values

  pbHMACSHA1(0), 
  pbHMACSHA224(1), 
  pbHMACSHA256(2), 
  pbHMACSHA384(3), 
  pbHMACSHA512(4), 
  pbHMACMD5(5),

  pbMD5(8), 
  pbMD2(9)

Default Value

Remarks

This property specifies the algorithm used for the pseudo random function. Possible values are:


0 (pbHMACSHA1 - default)	HMAC-SHA1, The default value and most commonly used.
1 (pbHMACSHA224)	HMAC-SHA224
2 (pbHMACSHA256)	HMAC-SHA256
3 (pbHMACSHA384)	HMAC-SHA284
4 (pbHMACSHA512)	HMAC-SHA512
5 (pbHMACMD5)	HMAC-MD5
6 (pbHMACRIPEMD160)	HMAC-RIPEMD160
7 (pbSHA1)	SHA1, Only used with PBKDF1.
8 (pbMD5)	MD5, Only used with PBKDF1.
9 (pbMD2)	MD2, Only used with PBKDF1.

Note: When using PBDKF1 the maximum KeyLength value is 160 bits for SHA1, and 128 bits for MD2 and MD5.
