Research direction

Review the token algorithm-name handling and the PHP hash-algos reference linked in the issue. Define the supported lowercase names and verify token generation and validation across the compatibility cases; done means the requested PHP-compatible algorithms work without breaking existing names.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,

if possible add compatibility of tokens with php algorithm. From what I could observe they use the algorithm names with lowercase letters. However, the way to generate the token is the same!
