Using encryption API methods

You can call the API methods in the default encryption plug-in when you have to set the encryptionID property, or encrypt data programmatically. The following list describes these methods and shows their signatures:

IEncryptionHelper::encrypt encrypts the given string, and returns the encrypted string:

String IEncryptionHelper::encrypt( String value )

IEncryptionHelper::decrypt decrypts the given encrypted string, and returns the original string:

public String IEncryptionHelper::decrypt( String string )

MetaDataDictionary::getEncryptionHelper returns the encryption helper with the extension ID:

public IEncryptionHelper MetaDataDictionary::getEncryptionHelper( String id )

MetaDataDictionary::getEncryptionHelpers gets all the encryption helpers:

public List MetaDataDictionary::getEncryptionHelpers( )
