AeadEncrypt Method

public static byte[] Encrypt(
	out byte[] tag,
	byte[] input,
	byte[] key,
	byte[] nonce,
	byte[] aad,
	AeadAlgorithm alg
)

Public Shared Function Encrypt ( 
	<OutAttribute> ByRef tag As Byte(),
	input As Byte(),
	key As Byte(),
	nonce As Byte(),
	aad As Byte(),
	alg As AeadAlgorithm
) As Byte()

Parameters

tag  Byte

To receive the output authentication tag value. Currently always returned exactly 16 bytes long. This is a by-reference parameter. There is no need to initialize (but the VB compiler may complain).

input  Byte

Plain text input data (required)

key  Byte

Key of exact length for given algorithm (16 or 32 bytes)

nonce  Byte

Nonce of exact length for given algorithm (currently always 12 bytes)

aad  Byte

Additional authentication data (optional). Pass null/Nothing to ignore.

alg  AeadAlgorithm

AEAD algorithm to use
