bits_in_key Property

The length of the encryption key.

Syntax

def get_bits_in_key() -> int: ...
def set_bits_in_key(value: int) -> None: ...

bits_in_key = property(get_bits_in_key, set_bits_in_key)

Default Value

0

Remarks

When using a variable-key encryption algorithm (typical examples are RC4, RC2, and Blowfish), provide the desired key length via this property.

This value is ignored if a fixed-key algorithm (such as AES128 or 3DES) is used.
