EncryptingAlgorithm Property

The encryption algorithm used when encrypting.

Syntax

 psmtp.getEncryptingAlgorithm([callback])
 psmtp.setEncryptingAlgorithm( encryptingAlgorithm, [callback])

Default Value

"AES128"

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 getEncryptingAlgorithm([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 setEncryptingAlgorithm([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 encryption algorithm used when encrypting. Possible values are:

CAST5
3DES or TripleDES
AES256
AES192
AES128 (default)
BLOWFISH
TWOFISH
IDEA
