Interface EncryptionMethod

public interface EncryptionMethod

EncryptionMethod describes the encryption algorithm applied to the cipher data. If the element is absent, the encryption algorithm must be known by the recipient or the decryption will fail.

It is defined as follows:

<complexType name='EncryptionMethodType' mixed='true'> <sequence> <element name='KeySize' minOccurs='0' type='xenc:KeySizeType'/> <element name='OAEPparams' minOccurs='0' type='base64Binary'/> <any namespace='##other' minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'/> </sequence> <attribute name='Algorithm' type='anyURI' use='required'/> </complexType>
