CipherMode PaddingMode| SymmetricAlgorithm |
A symmetric algorithm is one that uses the same Key and Initialization Vector to both encrypt and decrypt data.
For one of the symmetric algorithms to work, a Key and Initialization Vector needs to be supplied to the Crypto Service Provider.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CipherMode | A defined set of cipher modes the algorithms can use. |
| PaddingMode | A defined set of padding modes used to fill the end of non-blocksize length data blocks. For example if an algorithm has a blocksize of 8 bytes and the data is 3 bytes in length, then 5 bytes of padding must be applied. |

| FeedbackSize (get) | Returns the feedback size, in bits, used by the cryptographic operation. |
| FeedbackSize (let) | Sets the feedback size, in bits, used by the cryptographic operation. |
| IV (get) | Returns the Initialization Vector used by the cryptographic operation. |
| IV (let) | Sets the Initialization Vector used by the cryptographic operation. |
| Key (get) | Returns the secret key used by the cryptographic operation. |
| Key (let) | Sets the secret key to be used by the cryptographic operation. |
