The use of a non-standard algorithm is dangerous because a determined attacker may be able to break the algorithm and compromise whatever data has been protected. Standard algorithms like ``AES``, ``RSA``, ``SHA``, ... should be used instead.
This rule tracks custom implementation of these types from ``System.Security.Cryptography`` namespace:
* ``AsymmetricAlgorithm``
* ``AsymmetricKeyExchangeDeformatter``
* ``AsymmetricKeyExchangeFormatter``
* ``AsymmetricSignatureDeformatter``
* ``AsymmetricSignatureFormatter``
* ``DeriveBytes``
* ``HashAlgorithm``
* ``ICryptoTransform``
* ``SymmetricAlgorithm``
