Hi, I have found out from one Microsoft employee that Win2003 Server CryptoAPI supports SHA2 (256, 384 & 512) for RSA Enhanced and AES providers. There is no documentation on MSDN about this, yet. If I find something I will post it here. There is documentation about SHA2 support in CAPICOM:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/seccryp to/security/hasheddata_algorithm.asp and CAPICOM is COM interface to the CryptoAPI. I have installed latest PlatformSDK (Feb 2003, I think) and constants for SHA2 are provided next to SHA1 in WinCrypt.h.
