AIEncryptor – How to increase the encryption strength


1/2/2007

AIEncryptor provides several properties that developers can use to increase the level of security:

HashType – Selecting SHA512 provides the strongest level of encryption. However it will reduce the speed of encryption slightly and is not recommended for large files.

PassPhrase – Choosing a long pass phrase will help prevent hackers cracking the encryption and reading your plain text strings or files

PassPhraseStength – Setting this to 5 will provide the highest number of pass phrase cycles hence increasing the level of encryption

Developers should bear in mind that increasing encryption strength subsequently reduces encryption speed, and vice versa.
