UpdateVaultEncryption Method

Encrypts, decrypts, or changes the encryption password of the vault.

Syntax

public void UpdateVaultEncryption(int encryption, string oldPassword, string newPassword);
Public Sub UpdateVaultEncryption(ByVal Encryption As Integer, ByVal OldPassword As String, ByVal NewPassword As String)

Remarks

This method changes the encryption mode and/or password used to encrypt the vault.

The Encryption parameter specifies the new encryption mode to use. Valid values are:

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_NONE0x0Don't use encryption.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_DEFAULT0x1Use default encryption (CBFSSTORAGE_EM_XTS_AES256_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA256).

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_XTS_AES256_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA2560x2Use AES256 encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation based on a HMAC_SHA256 key hash.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM256_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA2560x3Use event-based custom 256-bit encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation based on a HMAC_SHA256 key hash.

256-bit (32-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM512_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA2560x4Use event-based custom 512-bit encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation based on a HMAC_SHA256 key hash.

512-bit (64-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM1024_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA2560x5Use event-based custom 1024-bit encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation based on a HMAC_SHA256 key hash.

1024-bit (128-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM256_CUSTOM_KEY_DERIVE0x23Use event-based custom 256-bit encryption with custom key derivation.

256-bit (32-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM512_CUSTOM_KEY_DERIVE0x24Use event-based custom 512-bit encryption with custom key derivation.

512-bit (64-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM1024_CUSTOM_KEY_DERIVE0x25Use event-based custom 1024-bit encryption with custom key derivation.

1024-bit (128-byte) block size.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM256_DIRECT_KEY0x43Use event-based custom 256-bit encryption with no key derivation.

256-bit (32-byte) block size. Useful for cases where the password is an identifier for an external key and should not be used for key derivation.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM512_DIRECT_KEY0x44Use event-based custom 512-bit encryption with no key derivation.

512-bit (64-byte) block size. Useful for cases where the password is an identifier for an external key and should not be used for key derivation.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_CUSTOM1024_DIRECT_KEY0x45Use event-based custom 1024-bit encryption with no key derivation.

1024-bit (128-byte) block size. Useful for cases where the password is an identifier for an external key and should not be used for key derivation.

CBFSSTORAGE_EM_UNKNOWN0xFFUnidentified or unknown encryption.

Applications that use custom encryption must implement at least the DataDecrypt and DataEncrypt events; and certain custom encryption modes may also require that the HashCalculate or KeyDerive event be implemented as well. Please refer to the Encryption topic for more information.

The OldPassword parameter specifies the current encryption password, if applicable.

The NewPassword parameter specifies the new encryption password to use, if applicable.

Note: This method can only be called when Active is true, and cannot be called within events.
