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.) |
![]() ![]() | 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.) |
![]() ![]() | LegalBlockSizes | Gets the block sizes, in bits, that are supported by the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | LegalKeySizes | Gets the key sizes, in bits, that are supported by the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Clear | Releases all resources used by the SymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | CreateDecryptor() | Creates a symmetric decryptor object with the current Key property and initialization vector (IV). (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | CreateDecryptor(Byte[], Byte[]) | When overridden in a derived class, creates a symmetric decryptor object with the specified Key property and initialization vector (IV). (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | CreateEncryptor() | Creates a symmetric encryptor object with the current Key property and initialization vector (IV). (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | CreateEncryptor(Byte[], Byte[]) | When overridden in a derived class, creates a symmetric encryptor object with the specified Key property and initialization vector (IV). (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
![]() ![]() | Dispose | 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 the Object 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.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | ValidKeySize | Determines whether the specified key size is valid for the current algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |

![]() ![]() | LegalKeySizesValue | Specifies the key sizes, in bits, that are supported by the symmetric algorithm. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | IDisposable.Dispose | Infrastructure. Releases the unmanaged resources used by the SymmetricAlgorithm and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from SymmetricAlgorithm.) |
