PBE-HASH-ALGORITHM attribute

A text string containing the name of the hash algorithm to use with the GENERATE-PBE-KEY function to generate a password-based encryption key.
Data type: CHARACTER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: SECURITY-POLICY system handle
The method accepts the following values and corresponding hash algorithms in increasing order of security and decreasing order of performance:
*"MD5" — RSA Message Digest Hash Algorithm (MD5)
*"SHA-1" — United States Government Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1)
*"SHA-256" — United States Government Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256)
*"SHA-512" — United States Government Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-512)
The default value is "SHA-1".
You are responsible for generating, storing, and transporting this value.
