Operation Subtypes

This section details the cryptographic algorithms and possible variations denoted by a subtype identifier. The algorithm subtype is often used to define the area of operation available to the algorithm type selected. The following table details the strings that are interpreted by R_CR_SUB_from_string() and output by R_CR_SUB_to_string(). 



 
Identifier String  


R_CR_SUB_NONE "NONE"  


R_CR_SUB_SIGN "SIGN"  


R_CR_SUB_VERIFY "VERIFY"  


R_CR_SUB_ENCRYPT "ENCRYPT"  


R_CR_SUB_DECRYPT "DECRYPT"  


R_CR_SUB_PUBLIC "PUBLIC"  


R_CR_SUB_PRIVATE "PRIVATE"  


R_CR_SUB_MAC "MAC"  


R_CR_SUB_PUB_ENC "PUB_ENC"  


R_CR_SUB_PUB_DEC "PUB_DEC"  


R_CR_SUB_PRIV_ENC "PRIV_ENC"  


R_CR_SUB_PRIV_DEC "PRIV_DEC"
