Member Function Documentation

void QCA::Algorithm::change	(	const QString &	type,
		const QString &	provider
	)

For internal use only.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters:

	type	the name of the algorithm to use
	provider	the name of the preferred provider

Definition at line 1289 of file qca_core.cpp.

void QCA::Algorithm::change

(

Provider::Context *

c

)

For internal use only.

Set the Provider for this algorithm

Parameters:

c

the context for the Provider to use

Definition at line 1281 of file qca_core.cpp.

const Provider::Context * QCA::Algorithm::context

(

)

const

For internal use only.

The context associated with this algorithm

Definition at line 1273 of file qca_core.cpp.

Provider::Context * QCA::Algorithm::context

(

)

For internal use only.

The context associated with this algorithm

Definition at line 1265 of file qca_core.cpp.

Algorithm & QCA::Algorithm::operator=

(

const Algorithm &

from

)

Assignment operator.

Parameters:

from

the Algorithm to copy state from

Reimplemented in QCA::Random, QCA::Hash, QCA::Cipher, QCA::MessageAuthenticationCode, QCA::KeyDerivationFunction, QCA::Certificate, QCA::CertificateRequest, QCA::CRL, QCA::CertificateAuthority, QCA::PGPKey, QCA::KeyStoreEntry, QCA::PKey, QCA::PublicKey, QCA::PrivateKey, and QCA::TLSSession.

Definition at line 1243 of file qca_core.cpp.

Provider * QCA::Algorithm::provider

(

)

const

The name of the provider.

Each algorithm is implemented by a provider. This allows you to figure out which provider is associated

Definition at line 1257 of file qca_core.cpp.

Provider::Context * QCA::Algorithm::takeContext

(

)

For internal use only.

Take the Provider from this algorithm

Definition at line 1297 of file qca_core.cpp.

QString QCA::Algorithm::type

(

)

const

The name of the algorithm type.

Reimplemented in QCA::Hash, QCA::Cipher, QCA::MessageAuthenticationCode, QCA::KeyStoreEntry, QCA::KeyStore, QCA::PKey, and QCA::SecureMessage.
