StreamCipher Property

Returns true if the selected algorithms works as a stream cipher.

Syntax

 symmetriccrypto.getStreamCipher([callback])

Default Value

FALSE

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 getStreamCipher([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 setStreamCipher([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 returns true if the selected algorithm processes data as a stream (byte-by-byte), rather than block-by-block. This affects the need to use a proper padding settings.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean
