ChaCha 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.ChaCha Configuration Settings
| 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. | |
| IncludeAuthTag:
Whether to append the authentication tag to the cipher text when UseAEAD is True.This setting controls whether AuthTag is appended to the cipher text. This may be useful
in cases where the other party knows to look for the authentication tag at the end of the data.
The default value is False.
Note: This setting cannot be used in conjunction with DecryptBlock. When calling DecryptBlock AuthTag must be set explicitly and the cipher text being decrypted must not include the auth tag. | |
| 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. | |
| InitialCounter: The initial counter value. This setting specifies the initial counter value. In most cases this is 0 (default), but some protocols may use a value of 1. The default value is 0. | |
| IVLength:
The IV length in bytes.This setting specifies the IV length. In most cases this is 12 bytes (default), but some protocols may use a value
of 8 bytes. The default value is 12.
Note: When decrypting, if IncludeIV is set to True and the IV length was NOT 12 bytes when originally encrypting the data, this setting must be set to the appropriate value before calling Decrypt or DecryptBlock. | |
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. |
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. |
