Gemstone.Security.Cryptography.DataProtection.Unprotect = function(encryptedData, optionalEntropy, protectToLocalMachine, settingsCategory);Parameters
- encryptedData Byte
- A byte array containing data encrypted using the Protect(Byte, Byte, Boolean, String) method.
- optionalEntropy Byte (Optional)
- An optional additional byte array that was used to encrypt the data, or null if the additional byte array was not used.
- protectToLocalMachine Boolean (Optional)
- Set to true to protect data to the local machine; otherwise, set to false to protect data to the current user.
- settingsCategory String (Optional)
- The config file settings category under which the settings are defined.
Return Value
ByteA byte array representing the decrypted data.
Exceptions
| ArgumentNullException | The encryptedData parameter is null. |
| CryptographicException | The decryption failed. |
