Algorithm Property

The Salsa20 algorithm.

Syntax

int GetAlgorithm();
int SetAlgorithm(int iAlgorithm);

Possible Values

SA_SALSA20(0), 
SA_XSALSA20(1)

Default Value

1

Remarks

This property specifies the Salsa implementation to use. Possible values are:

• 0 (Salsa20)
• 1 (XSalsa20 - default)

The XSalsa20 algorithm is recommended and generally to be considered more secure. The Salsa20 algorithm is fully supported for implementations that require this. In addition the reduced 12 and 8 round variants of Salsa20 are also supported, please see SalsaRounds for details.
