Members

• HmacSha2_256: Priority of "hmac-sha2-256".
• HmacSha1: Priority of "hmac-sha1".
• HmacMd5: Priority of "hmac-md5".
• HmacSha2_256_96: Priority of "hmac-sha2-256-96".
• HmacSha1_96: Priority of "hmac-sha1-96".
• HmacMd5_96: Priority of "hmac-md5-96".
• None: Priority of "none" (no message authentication used).

Remarks

The MacAlgs structure/class is used to enable and prioritize or disable various message authentication (integrity check) algorithms for the session. The algorithm names should be self-explanatory. For member values the following rules apply:

• An algorithm is enabled if it holds a non-zero value.
• Algorithms with lower non-zero values precede algorithms with higher values.
• Algorithms holding the same non-zero value are ordered by their declaration order.
• You should NOT enable the "none" algorithm, except strictly for testing purposes. All other algorithms can normally be enabled.

By default, all MAC algorithms are enabled except "none". They are ordered by their declaration order.
