Set the list of personal cipher preferences to @code{string}. Use
@command{@gpgname --version} to get a list of available algorithms,

via recipient key preferences. The most highly ranked cipher in this

@item --personal-digest-preferences @code{string}
Set the list of personal digest preferences to @code{string}. Use
@command{@gpgname --version} to get a list of available algorithms,
and use @code{none} to set no preference at all. This allows the user
to factor in their own preferred algorithms when algorithms are chosen

(e.g. @option{--clearsign} or @option{--sign}). The default value is
SHA-1.
