Aes Class
Visual Studio 2010
Represents the abstract base class from which all implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) must inherit.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The Aes type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | BlockSize | Gets or sets the block size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | FeedbackSize | Gets or sets the feedback size, in bits, of the cryptographic operation. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | IV | Gets or sets the initialization vector (IV) for the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | Key | Gets or sets the secret key for the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | KeySize | Gets or sets the size, in bits, of the secret key used by the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |

![]() | Dispose() | Releases all resources used by the current instance of the SymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the SymmetricAlgorithm and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GenerateIV | When overridden in a derived class, generates a random initialization vector (IV) to use for the algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() | GenerateKey | When overridden in a derived class, generates a random key (Key) to use for the algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
