Hey all, I was just wondering what hash algorithm is used when you provide a
key through the used of the Strong Name Tool or is it configurable?

For example when I generate a keypair.snk file using the the Strong Name
Tool (Sn.exe) and then include the following in my application:
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("keypair.snk")]

What hash is used on the assembly?

Thanks,
