Elgamal Configuration

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

Elgamal Configuration Settings


	KeySize: The size, in bits, of the secret key. This specifies the size, in bits, of the secret key. The minimum key size for Elgamal is 512. The maximum key size is 4096. Note that large values such as 4096 will impact performance. The default value is 1024.
	CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing: Determines whether or not the input stream is closed after processing. Determines whether or not the input stream set by SetInputStream is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True.
	CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing: Determines whether or not the output stream is closed after processing. Determines whether or not the output stream set by SetOutputStream is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True.

Base Configuration Settings

GUIAvailable: Tells the component whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The component will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the component does not attempt to process external events.

UseDaemonThreads: Whether threads created by the component are daemon threads.

If set to True, when the component creates a thread the thread's Daemon property will be explicitly set to True. By default this setting is False and the component will not set the Daemon property on the created thread.
