Remarks
The SignatureProvider object is used exclusively in custom signature provider add-ins. This method is used to query the add-in for three pieces of information:
What hash algorithm does the add-in support?
Is the add-in only a user interface (UI) or does it support hashing and verification? If True is returned, Microsoft Office does not call the add-in to hash or verify, only to display the UI.
What URL should the add-in provide for users if they are missing the signature add-in?
