Parameters

Remarks

A block size is the basic unit size of data that can be encrypted or decrypted in a single operation. Data that is larger than a block size are processed by splitting the data into multiple blocks the same size as the block size then operating of the multiple blocks.

An invalid block size will cause a CryptographicException.
