SmimeEncryptionAlgorithm Property
Gets or sets the algorithm to use for encrypting messages.

Namespace: MailBee.Security
Assembly: MailBee.NET (in MailBee.NET.dll) Version: 12.4 build 677 for .NET 4.5
Syntax
Copy
public Algorithm EncryptionAlgorithm { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Algorithm
A reference to Algorithm object representing the algorithm to be used for encrypting messages. The default algorithm is RSA DES (szOID_RSA_DES_EDE3_CBC).
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MailBeeInvalidArgumentExceptionvalue is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Remarks

Usually, there is no need to change the default value of this property. However, if you want to use another encryption algorithm (e.g. AES-256), you can get Algorithm instance using CreateInstanceByOid(String) or CreateInstanceById(Int32) methods.

Examples
This sample sets AES-256 encryption algorithm (we assume if it's supported by the operating system).
Copy
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespace at the top of your code
using MailBee.Security;

// The actual code (put it into a method of your class)

Smime objSmime = new Smime();
objSmime.EncryptionAlgorithm = Algorithm.CreateInstanceByOid("2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.42");
