Algorithm suite

Specifies the supported algorithms that are required for performing cryptographic operations with symmetric or asymmetric key-based security tokens.

All of the algorithm values in this field specify an algorithm suite. Algorithm suites and the values they each represent are detailed in the Web Services Security Policy Language (WS-SecurityPolicy) July 2005 Version 1.1 specification. Select a supported algorithm from the following list:
  • Basic256
  • Basic192
  • Basic128
  • TripleDes
  • Basic256Rsa15
  • Basic192Rsa15
  • Basic128Rsa15
  • TripleDesRsa15
  • Basic256Sha256
  • Basic192Sha256
  • Basic128Sha256
  • TripleDesSha256
  • Basic256Sha256Rsa15
  • Basic192Sha256Rsa15
  • Basic128Sha256Rsa15
  • TripleDesSha256Rsa15
This table defines values for the components for each algorithm suite.
