The cryptography settings schema contains elements that specify how to map friendly algorithm names to classes that implement cryptography algorithms.

<configuration>
  <mscorlib>
    <cryptographySettings>
      <cryptoNameMapping>
        <cryptoClasses>
          <cryptoClass>
        <nameEntry>
      <oidMap>
       <oidEntry>

Element	Description
<cryptoClasses>	Contains a list of cryptography classes that have a mapping to a friendly name in the <nameEntry> element.
<cryptoClass>	Contains a cryptography class that has a mapping to a friendly name in the <nameEntry> element.
<cryptographySettings>	Contains cryptography settings.
<cryptoNameMapping>	Contains mappings of classes to friendly names.
<mscorlib> element for cryptography settings	Contains the <cryptographySettings> element.
<nameEntry>	Maps a class name to a friendly algorithm name, which allows one class to have many friendly names.
<oidEntry>	Maps an ASN.1 object identifier (OID) to a friendly name.
<oidMap>	Contains ASN.1 OID mappings to classes.
