block_size Property

The block size of the chosen symmetric cipher.

Syntax

def get_block_size() -> int: ...

block_size = property(get_block_size, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property returns the block size of the chosen symmetric cipher.

Modern symmetric algorithms typically use blocks of 16 bytes. Some older algorithms, such as DES or Blowfish, use 8-byte blocks.

This property is read-only.
