Class CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm (2.11.2)

CryptoKeyVersionAlgorithm(value)

The algorithm of the CryptoKeyVersion, indicating what parameters must be used for each cryptographic operation.

The GOOGLE_SYMMETRIC_ENCRYPTION algorithm is usable with CryptoKey.purpose ENCRYPT_DECRYPT.

Algorithms beginning with "RSA_SIGN_" are usable with CryptoKey.purpose ASYMMETRIC_SIGN.

The fields in the name after "RSA_SIGN_" correspond to the following parameters: padding algorithm, modulus bit length, and digest algorithm.

For PSS, the salt length used is equal to the length of digest algorithm. For example, RSA_SIGN_PSS_2048_SHA256 will use PSS with a salt length of 256 bits or 32 bytes.

Algorithms beginning with "RSA_DECRYPT_" are usable with CryptoKey.purpose ASYMMETRIC_DECRYPT.

The fields in the name after "RSA_DECRYPT_" correspond to the following parameters: padding algorithm, modulus bit length, and digest algorithm.

Algorithms beginning with "EC_SIGN_" are usable with CryptoKey.purpose ASYMMETRIC_SIGN.

The fields in the name after "EC_SIGN_" correspond to the following parameters: elliptic curve, digest algorithm.

Algorithms beginning with "HMAC_" are usable with CryptoKey.purpose MAC.

The suffix following "HMAC_" corresponds to the hash algorithm being used (eg. SHA256).
