Method: Key::GenerateKeyGenerateKey(Length)
The GenerateKey method assigns a cryptographically viable random value to the key. This value is generated by using a version of the cipher itself as a Pseudorandom Number Generator, or PRNG.
Length
The Length argument is the length of the new key, in bytes. Note that legal key values for the Rijndael cipher must be 16, 24, or 32 bytes in length.
Example:
Dim strValue As String
Dim objKey As DGENCRYPTLib.Key
Set objKey = New DGENCRYPTLib.Key
objKey.GenerateKey 16
strValue = objKey.HexKey
MsgBox strValue
Set objKey = Nothing
Output:
