Which algorithm is used to hash the password here?

Question

I'm using the Webmatrix.WebData.Security library to control the login/register functionality of my site. The CreateUserAndAccount() method hashes the password the user gives and stores it within the table webpages_Membership. I'm having trouble understanding how the method hashes it. Could somebody help point me in the right direction?

The actual code is in the HashPassword method of System.Web.Helpers.Crypto
