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.
