# Insecure

A container for older, cryptographically insecure algorithms.

```
enum Insecure
```

## Overview> Important: These algorithms aren’t considered cryptographically secure,
> but the framework provides them for backward compatibility with older
> services that require them. For new services, avoid these algorithms.
