Why each option
Check Point R80 Management Server uses SHA-256 as the default algorithm for SIC (Secure Internal Communication) certificates issued between components.
SHA-256 is the default cryptographic algorithm used by Check Point R80 Management Server when issuing SIC certificates. SIC establishes trusted, encrypted communication between Check Point components, and R80 strengthened this by defaulting to SHA-256 over older algorithms used in prior versions.
SHA-200 is not a recognized or standardized cryptographic hash algorithm.
MD5 is a deprecated hashing algorithm considered cryptographically weak and is not used for SIC certificates in R80.
SHA-128 is not a valid or standardized hashing algorithm in any recognized cryptographic suite.
Concept tested: Check Point SIC certificate default algorithm R80
