encrypt

EncryptedAttribute encrypt(Key recipientPublicKey,
                           String dataEncAlgorithm,
                           int dataEncStrength,

Returns an EncryptedAttribute object.

Parameters:

recipientPublicKey - Public key used to encrypt the data encryption (secret) key, it is the public key of the recipient of the XML document to be encrypted.

dataEncAlgorithm - Data encryption algorithm.

dataEncStrength - Data encryption strength.

recipientEntityID - Unique identifier of the recipient, it is used as the index to the cached secret key so that the key can be reused for the same recipient; It can be null in which case the secret key will be generated every time and will not be cached and reused. Note that the generation of a secret key is a relatively expensive operation.

Returns:
