<ST_AlgClass> (Cryptographic Algorithm Classes)

This simple type specifies the possible classes of cryptographic algorithm used by protection.
Note: : The initial version of this Office Open XML Standard only supports a single version - hash - but future versions may expand this as necessary.
example: 
<p:… p:cryptAlgorithmClass="hash" 
  p:cryptAlgorithmType="typeAny" 
  p:cryptAlgorithmSid="1"
  p:hashData="9oN7nWkCAyEZib1RomSJTjmPpCY=" />

The @cryptAlgorithmClass attribute value of hash specifies that the algorithm used for the password is a hashing algorithm. ]

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

The following are possible enumeration values for this type:

Description

<hash> (Hash Algorithm Class)
