SymmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider.AlgorithmName Property

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Security.Cryptography.Core

Gets the name of the open symmetric algorithm.

public:
 property Platform::String ^ AlgorithmName { Platform::String ^ get(); };

winrt::hstring AlgorithmName();

public string AlgorithmName { get; }

var string = symmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider.algorithmName;

Public ReadOnly Property AlgorithmName As String

Property Value

String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

Algorithm name.

Remarks

  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.TripleDesCbc
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.TripleDesEcb

• PKCS#7 block padding modes: + SymmetricAlgorithmNames.AesCbcPkcs7

  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.AesEcbPkcs7
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.DesCbcPkcs7
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.DesEcbPkcs7
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.Rc2CbcPkcs7
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.Rc2EcbPkcs7
  • SymmetricAlgorithmNames.TripleDesCbcPkcs7
