Signature algorithm in AMS

The signature algorithm indicates the algorithm that should be used when signing data messages.

Valid values include:

• MD5
• SHA-1
• SHA-2 family:
  • SHA256
  • SHA384 (minimum key length acceptable - 768 bits)
  • SHA512 (minimum key length acceptable - 768 bits)

A policy that does not specify a signature algorithm, or specifies an algorithm of NONE, implies that messages placed on the queue associated with the policy are not signed.

Note: The quality of protection used for the message put and get functions must match. If there is a policy quality of protection mismatch between the queue and the message in the queue, the message is not accepted and is sent to the error handling queue. This rule applies for both local and remote queues.
