I try to use SGN_Digest with the algorithm SEC_OID_PKCS1_RSA_ENCRYPTION but it fails: The error code given by PR_GetError is -8186 (Bad algorithm). I tried other algorithms but it still failed...
Which algorithm I am supposed to use?
Thanks for help.
A "digest" is a cryptographic hash, not a signature, and not encryption. The OID you cite above is an OID for an encryption/signature algorithm, not an OID for a hash algorithm. You need to specify one of the following values:
SEC_OID_MD2 SEC_OID_MD5 SEC_OID_SHA1 SEC_OID_SHA256 SEC_OID_SHA384 SEC_OID_SHA512
