Signing Algorithm (-SIGALG)
Use the Signing Algorithm adapter command (-SIGALG) to specify the digest algorithm used for hashing when signing a message. It corresponds to the --digest-algo NAME option for the GnuPG executable.
-SIGALG alogorithm_id
The following table lists the allowed values for the algorithm_id and the corresponding algorithms:
- Algorithm_id
- Algorithm
- SHA1
- Secure Hash Algorithm version 1.
- MD5
- Rivest's Message Digest.
- RIPEMD160
- 160 bit output Message Digest.
The -SIGALG adapter command can always be specified, but it's value will only be used when a message needs to be signed. This happens when the following condition is met:
- -ACTION SIGN or -ACTION SIGNANDENCRYPT adapter command is used
