EncryptionAlgorithm Property

Specifies the encryption algorithm to apply to the archive.

Syntax

 archivewriter.getEncryptionAlgorithm([callback])
 archivewriter.setEncryptionAlgorithm( encryptionAlgorithm, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getEncryptionAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setEncryptionAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use this property to specify the encryption algorithm to apply to the archive.

Class supports the following algorithms: AES128, AES192, AES256, BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, 3DES, 3DES112, DES, RC2, RC4. Note that not all of them may be supported by the processing software.
