Cipher.FileDecrypt(String, String, Byte[], Byte[], CipherAlgorithm, Mode, Padding, Cipher.Opts) Method

Decrypt a file.

Syntax

[C#]
public static int FileDecrypt(
   string fileOut,
   string fileIn,
   byte[] key,
   byte[] iv,
   CipherAlgorithm cipherAlg,
   Mode mode,
   Padding pad = Padding.Default,
   Cipher.Opts opts = Cipher.Opts.Default 
)
[VB]
Public Shared Function FileDecrypt (
   fileOut As String,
   fileIn As String,
   key As Byte(),
   iv As Byte(),
   cipherAlg As CipherAlgorithm,
   mode As Mode,
   Optional pad As Padding = Padding.Default,
   Optional opts As Cipher.Opts = Cipher.Opts.Default 
) As Integer

Parameters

fileOut  String
Name of output file to be created or overwritten
fileIn  String
Name of input file
key  Byte
Key of of exact length for block cipher algorithm
iv  Byte
Initialization Vector (IV) of exactly the block size, or null for ECB mode or if IV is prefixed.
cipherAlg  CipherAlgorithm
Cipher Algorithm
mode  Mode
Cipher Mode
pad  Padding  (Optional)
Padding method to use (optional, ECB and CBC modes only, default=Pkcs5)
opts  Cipher.Opts  (Optional)
Advanced options. Use Cipher.Opts.PrefixIV to expect the IV to be prepended to the input.

Return Value

Int32
0 if successful or non-zero error code

Remarks

fileOut and fileIn must not be the same
