    Data type

    An Encryption Method object

    Possible values 

    Values Description
    XceedRijndaelEncryptionMethod object  Use the Rijndael secret-key encryption algorithm.
    XceedTwofishEncryptionMethod object  Use the Twofish secret-key encryption algorithm.
    XceedRSAEncryptionMethod object  Use the RSA public-key encryption algorithm.

    Default value

    An instance of the XceedRijndaelEncryptionMethod object

    Remarks

    This property cannot be set during the encryption or decryption process.

    Applicable methods
