EncryptionAlgorithm Enumeration
Specifies the encryption algorithm used to encrypt the message body of a private message.
Assembly: System.Messaging (in System.Messaging.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| None | No encryption. | |
| Rc2 | The value MQMSG_CALG_RC2. This is the default value for the encryption property of the Message Queuing application's message object. | |
| Rc4 | The value MQMSG_CALG_RC4. This corresponds to the less secure option for the encryption property of the Message Queuing application's message object. |
Cipher modes define the method in which data is encrypted. The stream cipher mode encodes data one bit at a time. The block cipher mode encodes data one block at a time. Although it tends to execute more slowly than stream cipher, block cipher is more secure. The following table describes the cipher mode for each of the EncryptionAlgorithm values.
Encryption | Cipher mode |
|---|---|
RC2 | 64-bit block |
RC4 | Stream |
The Message Queuing message object's property ultimately provides access to operating system encryption levels.
