PROV_RSA_AES

  • Article

The PROV_RSA_AES provider type supports both digital signatures and data encryption. It is considered a general purpose cryptographic service provider (CSP). The RSA public key algorithm is used for all public key operations.

Algorithms Supported

For descriptions of each of these algorithms, see the glossary.

Hashing MD2
MD4
MD5
SHA-1
SHA-2 (SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512)

 

This provider type is defined by Microsoft and RSA Data Security. It is described in the following documents:
