EntryKey Property
Provides an encryption key for the current entry.
Syntax
passwordvault.getEntryKey([callback]) passwordvault.setEntryKey( entryKey_Buffer, [callback])
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 getEntryKey([callback]) method is defined as:
function(err, buffer){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'buffer' is the value returned by the method.
The callback for the setEntryKey([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 provide the encryption/decryption key for the current entry. This property is typically assigned from the EntryKeyNeeded event handler.
This property is automatically generated when a non-empty password is assigned to the EntryPassword property. This is because all entries, and the vault itself,are always encrypted with cryptographically strong keys, and if the user decides to use a password, it is converted to such key using a secure PBKDF function.
This property is not available at design time.
