DeterministicEncryption..::..TryEncryptAsync Method

Asynchronously tries to encrypt the given byte array.

Namespace: Walter.Cypher
Assembly: Walter.Cypher (in Walter.Cypher.dll)

Syntax

public Task<ValueTuple<Nullable<byte>[], Nullable<byte>[]>> TryEncryptAsync(
	byte[] clearBytes
)

Parameters

clearBytes: Type: array<Byte>[]()[][]
The clear bytes to encrypt.

Return Value

A task that represents the asynchronous operation. The task result is a tuple containing the cyphered bytes and the hash.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown if clearBytes is null.
Exception	Thrown when no ILogger is provided and an exception occurs during encryption.

Remarks

This method attempts to encrypt the provided byte array. If the encryption is successful, it computes a hash of the cipher bytes using the specified hash method. An exception is thrown if no ILogger is provided and an error occurs during encryption. This method is suitable for encrypting large amounts of data as it writes to the CryptoStream in chunks, which can help to avoid OutOfMemoryExceptions with large byte arrays.
