RijndaelManaged.CreateDecryptor Method

Definition

Creates a symmetric decryptor object.

Overloads

CreateDecryptor()

Creates a symmetric decryptor object with the current Key property and initialization vector (IV).

CreateDecryptor(Byte[], Byte[])

Creates a symmetric Rijndael decryptor object with the specified Key and initialization vector (IV).

CreateDecryptor()

Creates a symmetric decryptor object with the current Key property and initialization vector (IV).

public:
 override System::Security::Cryptography::ICryptoTransform ^ CreateDecryptor();
public override System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform CreateDecryptor ();
override this.CreateDecryptor : unit -> System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform
Public Overrides Function CreateDecryptor () As ICryptoTransform

Returns

A symmetric decryptor object.

Remarks

This method decrypts an encrypted message created using the CreateEncryptor overload with the same signature.

Applies to

CreateDecryptor(Byte[], Byte[])

Creates a symmetric Rijndael decryptor object with the specified Key and initialization vector (IV).

public:
 override System::Security::Cryptography::ICryptoTransform ^ CreateDecryptor(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ rgbKey, cli::array <System::Byte> ^ rgbIV);
public override System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform CreateDecryptor (byte[] rgbKey, byte[]? rgbIV);
public override System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform CreateDecryptor (byte[] rgbKey, byte[] rgbIV);
override this.CreateDecryptor : byte[] * byte[] -> System.Security.Cryptography.ICryptoTransform
Public Overrides Function CreateDecryptor (rgbKey As Byte(), rgbIV As Byte()) As ICryptoTransform

Parameters

rgbKey
Byte[]

The secret key to be used for the symmetric algorithm. The key size must be 128, 192, or 256 bits.

rgbIV
Byte[]

The IV to be used for the symmetric algorithm.

Returns

A symmetric Rijndael decryptor object.

Exceptions

The rgbKey parameter is null.

-or-

The rgbIV parameter is null.

The value of the Mode property is not ECB, CBC, or CFB.

Remarks

This method decrypts an encrypted message created using the CreateEncryptor overload with the same signature.

The rgbkey size must be 128, 192, or 256 bits.
