ALG_ID
The ALG_ID data type specifies an algorithm identifier. Parameters of this data type are passed to most of the functions in CryptoAPI.
typedef unsigned int ALG_ID;
The following table lists the algorithm identifiers that are currently defined. Authors of custom cryptographic service providers (CSPs) can define new values. Also, the ALG_ID used by custom CSPs for the key specifications AT_KEYEXCHANGE and AT_SIGNATURE are provider dependent. Current mappings follow the table.
