The Authentication namespace provides a set of enumerations that describe the security of a connection. These enumerations include System.Security.Authentication.CipherAlgorithmType, System.Security.Authentication.ExchangeAlgorithmType, System.Security.Authentication.HashAlgorithmType, and System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocolType.

Specifies the algorithm used to create keys shared by the client and server. |
| HashAlgorithmType |
Specifies the algorithm used for generating message authentication codes (MACs). |
