libsodium.KeyStream.Constructor

Method Signatures

 Sub Constructor(NewStreamType As libsodium.StreamType = libsodium.StreamType.XSalsa20)
 Sub Constructor(FromPassword As libsodium.Password, Optional Salt As MemoryBlock, Limits As libsodium.ResourceLimits = libsodium.ResourceLimits.Interactive, HashAlgorithm As Int32 = libsodium.Password.ALG_ARGON2, NewStreamType As libsodium.StreamType = libsodium.StreamType.XSalsa20)
 Sub Constructor(KeyData As libsodium.PKI.PublicKey, NewStreamType As libsodium.StreamType = libsodium.StreamType.XSalsa20)

Parameters

Constructor(libsodium.StreamType)

Name	Type	Comment
NewStreamType	StreamType	Optional. The cipher to use. If not specified then XSalsa20 is used.

Constructor(libsodium.Password, MemoryBlock, libsodium.ResourceLimits, Int32, libsodium.StreamType)

Name	Type	Comment
FromPassword	Password	The password from which to derive a key.
Salt	MemoryBlock	Optional. A random salt for the key derivation algorithm.
Limits	ResourceLimits	Optional. A member of the ResourceLimits enumeration.
HashAlgorithm	Int32	Optional. The key derivation algorithm to use (ALG_ARGON2 or ALG_SCRYPT).
NewStreamType	StreamType	Optional. The cipher to use. If not specified then XSalsa20 is used.

Constructor(libsodium.PKI.PublicKey, libsodium.StreamType)

Name	Type	Comment
KeyData	PublicKey	The public half of an encryption or signing key pair to use as the key.
NewStreamType	StreamType	Optional. The cipher to use. If not specified then XSalsa20 is used.

Remarks

Generates a new random key stream, or derives one from a password or from the public half of a key pair.
