XMLEncrypt Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The XMLEncrypt class is used to encrypt and decrypt XML.
Syntax
ipworksencrypt.xmlencrypt()
Remarks
The XMLEncrypt class provides a simple API for encrypting and decrypting XML. The Encrypt method will encrypt the XML document, or a specific element. Multiple elements may be encrypted at one time by setting the EncryptedDataDetail* properties. The Decrypt method will decrypt the XML document.
The class supports encrypting and decrypting with a shared SymmetricKey, and also using asymmetric encryption to encrypt the SymmetricKey (session key) via the RecipientCert* and Cer* properties.
Encrypt
To begin first specify a XML document by setting InputFile, or InputXML.
The EncryptedDataDetail* properties specify the XML element to encrypt. By default the entire XML document is encrypted.
The SymmetricKey property specifies the key which will be used to encrypt the data.
If the RecipientCert* properties are set, then the SymmetricKey will be encrypted and included in the encrypted data. This allows for the recipient to decrypt the key, with their certificate. Encrypting the symmetric key is also referred to as using a session key. The benefit of using certificate to encrypt and decrypt a session key (SymmetricKey) is that knowledge of the key value is not needed ahead of time to process the encrypted data. Note that if specified, RecipientCert MUST have a RSA key, not a DSA key.
If the RecipientCert* properties are not set, then the recipient must know the value of SymmetricKey before decrypting the XML. The KeyName setting may be set to provide a key identifier to the recipient.
Optionally set EncryptingAlgorithm, and then call Encrypt to encrypt the XML.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
- SymmetricKey (required)
- EncryptingAlgorithm
- EncryptedDataDetail*
- RecipientCert*
- KeyName
Input and Output Properties
The class will determine the source and destination of the input and output based on which properties are set.
The order in which the input properties are checked is as follows:
When a valid source is found the search stops. The order in which the output properties are checked is as follows:- OutputFile
- OutputXML: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.
Decrypt
To begin first specify a XML document by setting InputFile, or InputXML.
The SymmetricKey property specifies the key used to decrypt the data. This may be set before calling Decrypt or inside the EncryptedDataInfo event. The EncryptedDataInfo event fires once for each encrypted element when Decrypt is called.
If the data was encrypted using an session key, set the Cert* properties to the certificate with private key before calling Decrypt. The certificate will be used to decrypt the encrypted session key. In this case the SymmetricKey property is ignored.
The following properties are applicable when calling this method:
Input and Output Properties

Config Settings (class ipworksencrypt.xmlencrypt)
The class 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 class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.XMLEnc Config Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DecryptWithCryptoAPI:
Whether to use the Crypto API for decrypt operations.This setting determines whether to use the Microsoft Crypto API to decrypt. This is helpful in cases
where the certificate is present in the Windows Certificate Store but the private key is not marked as
exportable. For instance when using a USB security key. The default value is False.
Note: This functionality is only available on Windows. |

EncryptedKeyXPath: The XPath of the EncryptedKey element.This setting specifies the XPath where the EncryptedKey element will be written. In most cases this does not need to be changed. By default it is included in the EncryptedData element. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
KeyName:
The name of the key used to encrypt the XML.This setting optionally holds the key name which may be useful to the recipient to help identify the key used to
encrypt the data.
This may be set before calling Encrypt.
When calling Decrypt this may be queried inside the EncryptedDataInfo event.
Note that this value is only informative, it does not affect processing. |

ReadFromProgressEvent: Whether to read input data from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows input data to be specified from within the Progress event. The class will repeatedly fire the Progress event to ask for data. Inside the event set InputXML when the Operation parameter of the event is 1 (Read). When all data has been provided set the IsEOF parameter of the event to True. This allows input data to be chunked and provided piece by piece. The default value is False. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
WriteToProgressEvent: Whether to write output data so it is accessible from inside the progress event.When set to True this setting allows output data to be obtained from within the Progress event. The class will repeatedly fire the Progress event to provide output data. Inside the event check OutputXML when the Operation parameter of the event is 2 (Write). The IsEOF parameter should be checked inside the event to determine when all output data has been provided. This allows output data to be chunked and obtained piece by piece. The default value is False. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
