For OpenPGP the hash function is not set in stone, but you can set a
list of preferred hash functions, e.g., one of my keys has the
following
list:
Digest: SHA256, SHA1, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224
I'm not a developer. I'm a network security engineer (recently
retired). I do have the statement "default-preference-list SHA512
SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 AES192 AES CAST5 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP
Uncompressed" in my gpg.conf file, and I think that this is what you
are mentioning.
Yes, the user can set what is generated by default for new keys, but
each key can have its own list of preferences and this is what I kind of
need to know to properly fill in the `micalg` parameter. At least I
believe I know now how to implement this properly for OpenPGP messages.
