Identifies the algorithm to use for encryption. Valid values of algorithm are:

"AEAD_AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_512-Random"

for randomized encryption. Specific to the Client-Side Field Level Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/client-side-field-level-encryption/> feature.

"AEAD_AES_256_CBC_HMAC_SHA_512-Deterministic"

for deterministic (queryable) encryption. Specific to the Client-Side Field Level Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/client-side-field-level-encryption/> feature.

"Indexed"

for indexed encryption. Specific to the Queryable Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/queryable-encryption/> feature.

"Unindexed"

for unindexed encryption. Specific to the Queryable Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/queryable-encryption/> feature.

"Range"

for range encryption. Specific to the Queryable Encryption <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/languages/c/c-driver/current/libmongoc/guides/queryable-encryption/> feature.
