Fields
None | 0 | No encryption. |
Rc2 | 26114 | The value MQMSG_CALG_RC2. This is the default value for the encryption property of the Message Queuing application's message object. |
Rc4 | 26625 | The value MQMSG_CALG_RC4. This corresponds to the less secure option for the encryption property of the Message Queuing application's message object. |
Remarks
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.
