DigestAlgorithmFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public interface DigestAlgorithmFactory

                    
```
Interface defining a factory creating a custom digest implementation. The interface should be implemented if a CPK developer wishes to provide support for digest algorithms beyond those supported by the Corda Platform. For each algorithm there must be matching a pair of [DigestAlgorithmFactory] and [DigestAlgorithm] implementations.

  - getAlgorithm
```
@NotNull() abstract String getAlgorithm()
```
    The algorithm name, for example, 'QUAD-SHA-256', the unique name (per Corda Platform and given CPK) of the digest algorithm. The name must match the names used by the created [DigestAlgorithm].
  - getInstance
```
@NotNull() abstract DigestAlgorithm getInstance()
```
    The factory method. The method must return a new instance on each call. The method must be thread safe.
