Rijndael Class
Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors
The Rijndael class can be used to encrypt and decrypt data through the Rijndael symmetric algorithm.
Syntax
Rijndael
Remarks
The Rijndael component can be used to encrypt and decrypt data through the Rijndael symmetric algorithm. Includes support for key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits, as well as block sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits.
To begin simply specify the data you wish to encrypt or decrypt.
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:
- SetOutputStream
- OutputFile
- OutputMessage: The output data is written to this property if no other destination is specified.
When using streams, you may need to additionally set CloseInputStreamAfterProcessing or CloseOutputStreamAfterProcessing.
Before encrypting you must have a valid Key and IV. There are a few options available to you in regards to key management. The easiest option is to simply set KeyPassword. When KeyPassword is set the component will automatically create a Key and IV using the PKCS5 password digest algorithm. This means there is only one value you need to keep track of.
If you wish to have more control over the Key and IV values you may specify the properties yourself. If IV is left empty, one will be created for you when you call Encrypt or Decrypt.
A simple example:
Component.InputFile = "C:\MyFile.txt";
Component.OutputFile = "C:\Encrypted.txt";
Component.KeyPassword = "password";
Component.Encrypt();
Note that by default the component uses a key size of 256 bits and a block size of 128 bits. You may specify the key size by setting KeySize and the block size by setting BlockSize.

CipherMode Property (Rijndael Class)
The cipher mode of operation.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetCipherMode();
int SetCipherMode(int iCipherMode); Unicode (Windows) INT GetCipherMode();
INT SetCipherMode(INT iCipherMode);
Possible Values
CM_CBC(0),
CM_ECB(1),
CM_OFB(2),
CM_CFB(3),
CM_CTS(4),
CM_8OFB(5),
CM_8CFB(7)
int ipworksencrypt_rijndael_getciphermode(void* lpObj);
int ipworksencrypt_rijndael_setciphermode(void* lpObj, int iCipherMode);
int GetCipherMode();
int SetCipherMode(int iCipherMode);
Default Value
0
Remarks
The cipher mode of operation.
Possible values are:
0 (cmCBC - default) | The Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) is a mode of operation for a block cipher, one in which a sequence of bits is encrypted as a single unit or block with a cipher key applied to the entire block. |
1 (cmECB) | The Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode encrypts each block separately. Important: It is not recommend to use this model when encrypting more than one block because it may introduce security risks. |
2 (cmOFB) | The Output Feedback (n-bit, NOFB) mode makes a block cipher into a synchronous stream cipher. It has some similarities to CFB mode in that it permits encryption of differing block sizes, but has the key difference that the output of the encryption block function is the feedback (instead of the ciphertext). |
3 (cmCFB) | The Cipher Feedback (CFB) mode processes a small amount of incremental text into ciphertext, rather than processing a whole block at one time. |
4 (cmCTS) | The Cipher Text Stealing (CTS) mode handles any length of plain text and produces cipher text whose length matches the plain text length. This mode behaves like the CBC mode for all but the last two blocks of the plain text. |
5 (cm8OFB) | 8-bit Output Feedback (OFB) cipher mode. |
7 (cm8CFB) | 8-bit Cipher Feedback (CFB) cipher mode. |

PaddingMode Property (Rijndael Class)
The padding mode.
Syntax
ANSI (Cross Platform) int GetPaddingMode();
int SetPaddingMode(int iPaddingMode); Unicode (Windows) INT GetPaddingMode();
INT SetPaddingMode(INT iPaddingMode);
Possible Values

int ipworksencrypt_rijndael_setpaddingmode(void* lpObj, int iPaddingMode);
int GetPaddingMode();
int SetPaddingMode(int iPaddingMode);
Default Value
0
Remarks
PaddingMode is used to pad the final input block to guarantee that it is the correct size required for the selected CipherMode. If the input size is a multiple of the cipher's BlockSize, an extra block of padding will be appended to the input. This enables the decrypting agent to know with certainty how many bytes of padding are included. Each mode pads the data differently. Possible values are:
0 (pmPKCS7 - default) | The data is padded with a series of bytes that are each equal to the number of bytes used.
For instance, in the example below the data must be padded with 3 additional bytes, so each byte value will be 3.
Raw Data: AA AA AA AA AA PKCS7 Padded Data: AA AA AA AA AA 03 03 03 |
1 (pmZeros) | The data is padded with null bytes. |
2 (pmNone) | No padding will be performed. |
3 (pmANSIX923) | The ANSIX923 padding string consists of a sequence of bytes filled with zeros before the length.
For instance, in the example below the data must be padded with 3 additional bytes, so last byte value will be 3.
Raw Data: AA AA AA AA AA ANSIX923 padding Data: AA AA AA AA AA 00 00 03 |
4 (pmISO10126) | The ISO10126 padding string consists of random data before the length.
For instance, in the example below the data must be padded with 3 additional bytes, so last byte value will be 3.
Raw Data: AA AA AA AA AA ISO10126 padding Data: AA AA AA AA AA F8 EF 03 |
When calling Decrypt the PaddingMode must match the value used when the data was encrypted.
Note: When using a value of 2 (pmNone), unless the length of input is an exact multiple of the cipher's input BlockSize, the final block of plaintext may be lost.

bool GetUseHex();
int SetUseHex(bool bUseHex);
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks

If set to True, when Encrypt is called the class will perform the encryption as normal and then hex encode the output. OutputMessage or OutputFile will hold hex encoded data.
If set to True, when Decrypt is called the class will expect InputMessage or InputFile to hold hex encoded data. The class will then hex decode the data and perform decryption as normal.

QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These 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.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

// Or, subclass Rijndael and override this emitter function. virtual int FireProgress(RijndaelProgressEventParams *e) {...}
Remarks
This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.
The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.
The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.
IPWorksEncryptStream Type
Syntax
IPWorksEncryptStream (declared in ipworksencrypt.h)
Remarks
The Rijndael class includes one or more API members that take a stream object as a parameter. To use such API members, create a concrete class that implements the IPWorksEncryptStream interface and pass the Rijndael class an instance of that concrete class.
When implementing the IPWorksEncryptStream interface's properties and methods, they must behave as described below. If the concrete class's implementation does not behave as expected, undefined behavior may occur.
Properties | |
CanRead |
Whether the stream supports reading.
bool CanRead() { return true; } |
CanSeek |
Whether the stream supports seeking.
bool CanSeek() { return true; } |
CanWrite |
Whether the stream supports writing.
bool CanWrite() { return true; } |
Length |
Gets the length of the stream, in bytes.
int64 GetLength() = 0; |
Methods | |
Close |
Closes the stream, releasing all resources currently allocated for it.
void Close() {} This method is called automatically when an IPWorksEncryptStream object is deleted. |
Flush |
Forces all data held by the stream's buffers to be written out to storage.
int Flush() { return 0; } Must return 0 if flushing is successful; or -1 if an error occurs or the stream is closed. If the stream does not support writing, this method must do nothing and return 0. |
Read |
Reads a sequence of bytes from the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes read.
int Read(void* buffer, int count) = 0; Buffer specifies the buffer to populate with data from the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be read from the stream. Must return the total number of bytes read into Buffer; this may be less than Count if that many bytes are not currently available, or 0 if the end of the stream has been reached. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if reading is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |
Seek |
Sets the current position within the stream based on a particular point of origin.
int64 Seek(int64 offset, int seekOrigin) = 0; Offset specifies the offset in the stream to seek to, relative to SeekOrigin. Valid values for SeekOrigin are:
Must return the new position within the stream; or -1 if an error occurs, if seeking is not supported, or if the stream is closed (however, see note below). If -1 is returned, the current position within the stream must remain unchanged. Note: If the stream is not closed, it must always be possible to call this method with an Offset of 0 and a SeekOrigin of 1 to obtain the current position within the stream, even if seeking is not otherwise supported. |
Write |
Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream and advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written.
int Write(const void* buffer, int count) = 0; Buffer specifies the buffer with data to write to the stream. Count specifies the number of bytes that should be written to the stream. Must return the total number of bytes written to the stream; this may be less than Count if that many bytes could not be written. Must return -1 if an error occurs, if writing is not supported, or if the stream is closed. |
Config Settings (Rijndael Class)
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.Rijndael Config Settings
The following algorithms have a fixed block size: AES, CAST, DES, IDEA, RC2, TripleDES, Blowfish, and Twofish.
When Encrypt is called the class will perform the encryption as normal and then encode the output as specified here. OutputMessage or OutputFile will hold the encoded data.
When Decrypt is called the class will expect InputMessage or InputFile to hold the encoded data as specified here. The class will then decode the data and perform decryption as normal.
Possible values are:
- 0 (none - default)
- 1 (Base64)
- 2 (Hex)
- 3 (Base64URL)
- "SHA1"
- "MD2"
- "MD5" (default)
- "HMAC-SHA1"
- "HMAC-SHA224"
- "HMAC-SHA256"
- "HMAC-SHA384"
- "HMAC-SHA512"
- "HMAC-MD5"
- "HMAC-RIPEMD160"
When using any HMAC algorithm the PBKDF#2 method from RFC 2898 is used. Any other algorithm uses PBKDF#1 from the same RFC.
This setting is only applicable when KeyPassword is specified.
Note that when using the EzCrypt class, KeySize should be set after setting the Algorithm property.

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.
On Linux, the C++ edition requires installation of the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library. The OpenSSL FIPS provider version must be at least 3.0.0. For additional information and instructions regarding the installation and activation of the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library, please refer to the following link: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/README-FIPS.md
To ensure the class utilizes the FIPS-enabled OpenSSL library, the obfuscated source code should first be compiled with OpenSSL enabled, as described in the Supported Platforms section. Additionally, the FIPS module should be enabled and active. If the obfuscated source code is not compiled as mentioned, or the FIPS module is inactive, the class will throw an appropriate error assuming FIPS mode is enabled.
FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to true. This is a static setting that applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.
For more details, please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.
Note: This setting is applicable only on Windows.
Note: Enabling FIPS compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.
Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.
On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.
To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
Trappable Errors (Rijndael Class)
Error Handling (C++)
Call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain the last called method's result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. Known error codes are listed below. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
