ALG_ID (Windows CE 5.0)
This data type specifies algorithm identifiers. Most of the functions in the CryptoAPI pass parameters of this data type that are defined in the Wincrypt.h header file as follows.
typedef unsigned int ALG_ID;
Remarks
Authors of custom cryptographic service providers (CSPs) can define algorithm identifiers. The identifiers used by custom CSPs for the key specifications AT_KEYEXCHANGE and AT_SIGNATURE are provider-dependent. The following table shows the algorithm identifiers that are currently defined.
