EncryptionAlgorithm Property

The algorithm used to encrypt the EDI data.

Syntax

 as2sender.getEncryptionAlgorithm([callback])
 as2sender.setEncryptionAlgorithm( encryptionAlgorithm, [callback])

Default Value

"3DES"

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

If RecipientCerts contains a valid certificate, the data will be encrypted using this certificate and the algorithm specified in EncryptionAlgorithm. If EncryptionAlgorithm is set to the empty string, the data will not be encrypted.

The class supports "3DES", or industry-standard 168-bit Triple-DES encryption.

The class supports "AES" encryption with a default keysize of 128 bits. You may also set "AESCBC192" or "AESCBC256" for 192- and 256-bit keysizes.

Possible values are:

• 3DES (default)
• DES
• AESCBC128
• AESCBC192
• AESCBC256

Data Type
