-Some additional information regarding some of the algorithms:
-
-@table @code
-@item RSA
-RSA is public key cryptosystem designed by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir
-and Leonard Adleman. It can be used with any hash functions.
-
-@item DSA
-DSA is the USA's Digital Signature Standard. It may use the SHA
-family of hash algorithms.
-
-@item ECDSA
-ECDSA is the elliptic curve counter-part of DSA.
-
-@item MD2
-MD2 is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by Ron Rivest. It is
-optimized for 8-bit processors. Outputs 128 bits of data. There are
-several known weaknesses of this algorithm and it should not be used.
-
-@item MD5
-MD5 is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by Ron Rivest. Outputs
-128 bits of data. It is considered to be broken.
-
-@item SHA-1
-SHA is a cryptographic hash algorithm designed by NSA. Outputs 160
-bits of data. It is also considered to be broken, though no practical
-attacks have been found.
-
-@item RMD160
-RIPEMD is a cryptographic hash algorithm developed in the framework of
-the EU project RIPE. Outputs 160 bits of data.
