KeyGenParameterSpec.IsRandomizedEncryptionRequired Property

Definition

Returns true if encryption using this key must be sufficiently randomized to produce different ciphertexts for the same plaintext every time.

public bool IsRandomizedEncryptionRequired { [Android.Runtime.Register("isRandomizedEncryptionRequired", "()Z", "", ApiSince=23)] get; }
[<get: Android.Runtime.Register("isRandomizedEncryptionRequired", "()Z", "", ApiSince=23)>]
member this.IsRandomizedEncryptionRequired : bool

Remarks

Returns true if encryption using this key must be sufficiently randomized to produce different ciphertexts for the same plaintext every time. The formal cryptographic property being required is <em>indistinguishability under chosen-plaintext attack (IND-CPA)</em>. This property is important because it mitigates several classes of weaknesses due to which ciphertext may leak information about plaintext. For example, if a given plaintext always produces the same ciphertext, an attacker may see the repeated ciphertexts and be able to deduce something about the plaintext.
