Hi,
    If you enum the provider algorithms, you get something like this
for the Enhanced provider on Win98:

(algID;KeyLen;Name)
26114;128;RC2
26625;128;RC4
26113;56;DES
26121;112;3DES TWO KEY
26115;168;3DES
32772;160;SHA-1
32769;128;MD2
32770;128;MD4
32771;128;MD5
32776;288;SSL3 SHAMD5
32773;64;MAC
9216;1024;RSA_SIGN
41984;1024;RSA_KEYX
32777;0;HMAC
