Algorithm Property

The TEA algorithm.

Syntax

 tea.getAlgorithm([callback])
 tea.setAlgorithm( algorithm, [callback])

Possible Values

  0 (taXXTEA), 
  1 (taXTEA), 
  2 (taTEA)

Default Value

0

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 getAlgorithm([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 setAlgorithm([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

This property specifies the TEA algorithm to use. It is recommended to use the XXTEA (Corrected Block TEA) algorithm for security reasons. Possible values are:
