UseHex Property

Whether input or output is hex encoded.

Syntax

public boolean isUseHex();
public void setUseHex(boolean useHex);

Remarks

This property specifies whether the encrypted data is hex encoded.

If set to True, when Encrypt is called the component will perform the encryption as normal and then hex encode the output. OutputMessage or OutputFile will hold hex encoded data.

If set to True, when Decrypt is called the component will expect InputMessage or InputFile to hold hex encoded data. The component will then hex decode the data and perform decryption as normal.

AEAD Notes

When UseAEAD is set to True this property also applies to AuthTag. After calling Encrypt AuthTag will hold a hex encoded value. Before calling Decrypt AuthTag must be set to a hex encoded value.

Default Value

False
