BCRYPT_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER Structure

The BCRYPT_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER structure is used to contain a cryptographic algorithm identifier.

Syntax

typedef struct _BCRYPT_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER {
    LPWSTR pszName;
    ULONG dwClass;
    ULONG dwFlags;
} BCRYPT_ALGORITHM_IDENTIFIER;  

Members

pszName
A pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that contains the string identifier of the algorithm. The CNG Algorithm Identifiers topic contains the predefined algorithm identifiers.

dwClass
Specifies the class of the algorithm. This can be one of the CNG Interface Identifiers.

dwFlags
A set of flags that specify other information about the algorithm. There are currently no flags defined for this member.

Requirements

Header: Declared in bcrypt.h.

Library: Use bcrypt.lib.
