Hi!
You are mixing up two things:
1. The key derivation function, commonly abbreviated as KDF but in
OpenPGP as S2K (String to Key).
2. The encrytion algorithm.
The first is use to derive a key from a passphrase and the second to do
the actual encryption. The goal of the key derivation is t

Hi!
The choice of algorithms used for conventional encryption of messages
(--symmetric) is quite obscure. The user must provide a passphrase which
is hashed, the result of which is used as an encryption key. Now, the
hash is selected by "s2k-digest
