Encryption (Property)
In french: Cryptage
ODBCHFSQL ClassicNot available with these kinds of connection
Warning
From version 28 (75), CryptMethod is kept for backward compatibility. This property has been replaced with Encryption.
The Encryption property allows you to manage the type of encryption used between Client computers and an HFSQL server. You can:
  • Get the type of encryption used for an HFSQL Client/Server connection.
  • Define the type of encryption used for an HFSQL Client/Server connection. In this case, if the connection is currently open, it will be closed and opened again with the new parameters when first accessing a data file that uses this connection.
Note: The connection can correspond:
Example
MyConnection is Connection
// Describe the connection
MyConnection.User = "USER"
MyConnection.Password = "PASSWORD"
MyConnection.Server = "MYSERVER" 
MyConnection.Database = "Database"
MyConnection.Encryption = hEncryptionRC5_16
MyConnection.Provider = hAccessHFClientServer
MyConnection.Access = hOReadWrite
MyConnection.ExtendedInfo = "Extended information"
HOpenConnection(MyConnection)
Syntax

Getting the type of encryption for an HFSQL Client/Server connection Hide the details

<Type of encryption> = <Connection used>.Encryption
<Type of encryption>: Constant
Returns the type of encryption for the connection:
hEncryptionAES128The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 128-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionAES192The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 192-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionAES256The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 256-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionNONo encryption is performed.
hEncryptionRC5_16The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using an optimized 16-round RC5 algorithm with a 128-bit key.
hEncryptionStandardThe connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using an optimized 128-bit algorithm.
<Connection used>: Connection name
Name of the connection used. This name is defined:

Defining the type of encryption for a connection Hide the details

<Connection used>.Encryption = <Type of encryption>
<Connection used>: Connection name
Name of the connection used. This name is defined:
<Type of encryption>: Constant
Defines the type of encryption for the connection:
hEncryptionAES128The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 128-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionAES192The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 192-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionAES256The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using a 256-bit AES algorithm with the Output Feedback (OFB) mode.
hEncryptionNONo encryption is performed.
hEncryptionRC5_16The connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using an optimized 16-round RC5 algorithm with a 128-bit key.
hEncryptionStandardThe connection between the server and the client computers is encrypted using an optimized 128-bit algorithm.

ExtendedInfo property and connection

Changing the encryption information of an HFSQL Client/Server connection with the ExtendedInfo property automatically updates the information returned by the Encryption property and vice versa.
Therefore, the following line of code:
MyConnection.Encryption = hEncryptionRC5_16
will modify the ENCRYPTION option in the extended information string.
Similarly, the following line of code:
MyConnection.ExtendedInfo = "CRYPT=RC5_16"
will modify the Encryption property.
