Definition	Value	Description
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_AUTO	0 (0x00)	Algorithm is selected automatically. If UseOldPackets = false, SHA1 is used, otherwise MD5 is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_MD5	1 (0x01)	MD5 is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_SHA1	2 (0x02)	SHA1 is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_RIPEMD160	3 (0x03)	RIPEMD160 is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_SHA256	8 (0x08)	SHA 256-bit is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_SHA384	9 (0x09)	SHA 384-bit is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_SHA512	10 (0x0A)	SHA 512-bit is used
SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_SHA224	11 (0x0B)	SHA-224 hash algorithm is used

Description

    Use this property to get or set algorithm that will be used for hash calculation.
    Default value is SB_PGP_ALGORITHM_MD_AUTO.
    In signatures, produced by DSA-keys, the size of the hash should not be smaller than the length of the Q parameter. By default, hash algorithm used for signatures produced by DSA-keys, uses KeyHashAlgorithm value. Longer hashes are allowed (for example, it is possible to use SHA256 for DSA 1024-bit key), but not all the PGP implementations support such behavior, thus user should be careful in such situations.
