void discard ( PRInt32 len )

Discard len bytes of the keystream. These days 1536 is considered a decent amount to drop to get the key state warmed-up enough for secure usage.

Arguments:

len

ACString finish ( PRBool ASCII )

Arguments:

ASCII: if true then the returned value is a base-64 encoded string. if false, then the returned value is binary data.

void init ( nsIKeyObject key )

Initialize a stream cipher.

Arguments:

key: nsIKeyObject

void initWithIV ( nsIKeyObject key , arrayof PRUint8 IV , PRUint32 IVLen )

Initialize a stream cipher with an initialization vector.

Arguments:

key: nsIKeyObject

IV: the initialization vector

IVLen: the length of the initialization vector

void update ( arrayof PRUint8 data , PRUint32 len )

Update from an array of bytes.

Arguments:

data

len

void updateFromStream ( nsIInputStream stream , PRInt32 len )

Update from a stream.

Arguments:

stream

len

void updateFromString ( ACString input )

A more script friendly method (not in nsICryptoHash interface).

Arguments:

input
