IX509CertificateRequestCmc::get_EncryptionStrength method (certenroll.h)

The EncryptionStrength property specifies or retrieves the relative encryption level applied to the private key to be archived.

This property is read/write.

Syntax

HRESULT get_EncryptionStrength(
  LONG *pValue
);

Parameters

pValue

Return value

None

Remarks

This property is related to the following properties:

• ArchivePrivateKey
• EncryptedKeyHash
• EncryptionAlgorithm
• KeyArchivalCertificate

The encryption strength is often implied by the encryption algorithm. If the algorithm does not support multiple strengths, you should not set the EncryptionStrength property.

You must set this property, if at all, before calling the Encode method, but you must initialize the CMC request object before calling the property. For more information, see the following topics:

• Initialize
• InitializeDecode
• InitializeFromCertificate
• InitializeFromInnerRequest
• InitializeFromInnerRequestTemplateName
• InitializeFromTemplateName
