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.
| Purpose | Supported algorithms |
|---|---|
| Key Exchange | RSA |
| Signature | RSA |
| Encryption | RC2 RC4 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) |
| Hashing | MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA-1 SHA-2 (SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512) |
