BlockSize Property

The block size of the chosen symmetric cipher.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetBlockSize();

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetBlockSize();

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=blockSize) int blockSize;
- (int)blockSize;

#define PID_SYMMETRICCRYPTO_BLOCKSIZE 2

SECUREBLACKBOXLITE_EXTERNAL void* SECUREBLACKBOXLITE_CALL SecureBlackboxLite_SymmetricCrypto_Get(void *lpObj, int propid, int arridx, int *lpcbVal, int64 *lpllVal);

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.
