I try to use SGN_Digest with the algorithm

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

Thank very much it works fine now!
