BitsInKey Property
The length of the encryption key.
Syntax
messageencryptor.getBitsInKey([callback]) messageencryptor.setBitsInKey( bitsInKey, [callback])
Default Value
0
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 getBitsInKey([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 setBitsInKey([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
When using a variable-key encryption algorithm (typical examples are RC4, RC2, and Blowfish), provide the desired key length via this property.
This value is ignored if a fixed-key algorithm (such as AES128 or 3DES) is used.
