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Sha1	32772	Retrieves a revision of the Secure Hash Algorithm that corrects an unpublished flaw in SHA.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.
