'  "quoted-printable", "base64","url", and many more..

'  Hash using MD5

'  Note: SHA-2 is a set of cryptographic hash functions (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512)

'  Hash using SHA-256

'  Hash using SHA-512

'  Hash using HAVAL
'  There are two additional properties relevant to HAVAL:
'  HavalRounds, and KeyLength.
'  HavalRounds can have values of 3, 4, or 5.
'  KeyLength can have values of 128, 160, 192, 224, or 256
