| SymmetricAlgorithm: BlockSize (let) |
Sets the block size, in bits, used by the cryptographic operation.
Public Property Let BlockSize( ByVal Value As Long ) :
The block size is the basic unit of data that can be encrypted or decrypted in one operation. Messages longer than the block size are handled as successive blocks; messages shorter than the block size must be padded with extra bits to reach the size of a block. Valid block sizes are determined by the symmetric algorithm used.
A list of valid block sizes can be obtained through the LegalBlockSizes property.
