I have used for hashing algorithm CALG_SHA value in CryptCreateHash function
and I have obtained a digest of my data.
Now I'm preparing the TimeStampReq struct for request of time stamp by a
Time Stamp Authority.
A field of this struct is the hash algorithm value I have used; this value
must be in the string format "1.3.14.3.2.26"
and it is named szOID_OIWSEC_sha1 in wincrypt.h.

My question is this: the Object Identifier "1.3.14.3.2.26" that I put in
TimeStampReq identifies the same algorithm
CALG_SHA that I have used in CryptCreateHash?  Or is it different?

Thanks in advance.
