| DES: BlockSize (get) |
Returns the block size in bits.
Public Property Get BlockSize ( ) As Long
This always returns 64.
The block size is the amount of data that is processed as a single unit by the cipher. It will always require a block of 64 bits (8 bytes) to operate, therefore if a the last block to be operated on is not 64 bits in length it must be padded to meet the block size requirement. The padding is automatically performed by the routine
Read/Write.
