+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 uses only the SHA-1
+hash algorithm.
+
+@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
+no known weaknesses of this algorithm but since this algorithm is
+rarely used and not really studied it should not be used today.
+
+@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.
