Blowfish Configuration
The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.Blowfish Configuration Settings
| BlockSize:
The block size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation.The block size is a basic data unit in the operation of encrypt or decrypt. Messages longer than the block size are seen as successive blocks. If the message is shorter than the block size, the message will be padded with extra bits to reach the block size according to PaddingMode.
Different symmetric algorithm has different valid block sizes.
The following algorithms have a fixed block size: AES, CAST, DES, IDEA, RC2, TripleDES, Blowfish, and Twofish. | |
| CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing: Determines whether or not the input stream is closed after processing.Determines whether or not the input stream set by SetInputStream is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True. | |
| CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing: Determines whether or not the output stream is closed after processing.Determines whether or not the output stream set by SetOutputStream is closed after processing is complete. The default value is True. | |
| IncludeIV: Whether to prepend the IV to the output data and read the IV from the input data.If this config is true, the IV will be automatically prepended to the output data when calling Encrypt. When calling Decrypt and this setting is True, the IV is automatically extracted form the ciphertext. The default value is False. | |
KeyPasswordAlgorithm:
The hash algorithm used to derive the Key and IV from the KeyPassword property.This configuration setting specifies which hash algorithm will be used when deriving the Key and IV from KeyPassword.
The default value is "MD5". Possible values are:
When using any HMAC algorithm the PBKDF#2 method from RFC 2898 is used. Any other algorithm uses PBKDF#1 from the same RFC. | |
| KeyPasswordIterations: The number of iterations performed when using KeyPassword to derive the Key and IV.This configuration setting specifies the number of iterations performed when using KeyPassword to calculate values for Key and IV. When using PBKDF#2 the default number of iterations is 10,000. When using PBKDF#1 the default number is 10. | |
| KeyPasswordSalt: The salt value used in conjunction with the KeyPassword to derive the Key and IV.This configuration setting specifies the hex encoded salt value to be used along with the KeyPassword when calculating values for Key and IV. | |
| KeySize:
The size, in bits, of secret key for the symmetric algorithm.The legal key sizes vary depending on the algorithm. The KeySize and BlockSize
configuration settings may be set to specify the key and block size (in bits).
This setting is only applicable when KeyPassword is specified. Note that when using the EzCrypt component, KeySize should be set after setting the Algorithm property. |
Base Configuration Settings
| BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CodePage:
The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
The following is a list of valid code page identifiers:

LicenseInfo:
Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

| UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. By default the component will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API. |
