algorithm Property
The underlying pseudorandom function.
Syntax
def get_algorithm() -> int: ... def set_algorithm(value: int) -> None: ...
algorithm = property(get_algorithm, set_algorithm)
Default Value
0
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 key_length value is 160 bits for SHA1, and 128 bits for MD2 and MD5.
