Configuring the Encryption Algorithm for SMIME and EDI

SMIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) supports configurable encryption algorithm. This article explains the supported algorithms and how to configure them.

Configuring the Encryption Algorithm

Support for the encrypting algorithm is exposed through the EncryptingAlgorithm property in the S/MIME and EDI toolkits. See the online documentation for more details. For more details, For more details, see the S/MIME documentation and the EDI documentation.

All other Editions support the following values. Set EncryptingAlgorithm to one of these strings:

 "RC2" szOID_RSA_RC2CBC 
 "SHA1" szOID_OIWSEC_sha1 
 "MD2" szOID_RSA_MD2 
 "MD5" szOID_RSA_MD5 
 "MD2RSA" szOID_RSA_MD2RSA 
 "MD4RSA" szOID_RSA_MD4RSA 
 "MD5RSA" szOID_RSA_MD5RSA 
 "SHA1RSA" szOID_RSA_SHA1RSA 
 "RC2CBC" szOID_RSA_RC2CBC 
 "RC4" szOID_RSA_RC4 
 "DES" szOID_RSA_DES_EDE3_CBC 
 "DESCBC" szOID_RSA_DES_EDE3_CBC 
 "DES_EDE3_CBC" szOID_RSA_DES_EDE3_CBC 

Please note that these are the most common encrypting algorithms. If your algorithm is not on the list, please contact support.
