Detailed Description

General superclass for an algorithm.

This is a fairly abstract class, mainly used for implementing the backend "provider" interface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm (  const Algorithm &  from  )

Standard copy constructor. Parameters: from  the Algorithm to copy from

QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm (   )  [protected]

Constructor for empty algorithm.

QCA::Algorithm::Algorithm (  const QString &  type, const QString &  provider )  [protected]

Constructor of a particular algorithm. Parameters: type  the algorithm to construct provider  the name of a particular Provider

Member Function Documentation

Algorithm& QCA::Algorithm::operator= (  const Algorithm &  from  )

Assignment operator. Parameters: from  the Algorithm to copy state from

QString QCA::Algorithm::type (   )  const

The name of the algorithm type. Reimplemented in QCA::Hash, QCA::Cipher, QCA::MessageAuthenticationCode, QCA::KeyStoreEntry, QCA::KeyStore, QCA::PKey, and QCA::SecureMessage.

Provider* QCA::Algorithm::provider (   )  const

The name of the provider. Each algorithm is implemented by a provider. This allows you to figure out which provider is associated

Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::context (   )

For internal use only. The context associated with this algorithm

const Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::context (   )  const

For internal use only. The context associated with this algorithm

void QCA::Algorithm::change (  Provider::Context *  c  )

For internal use only. Set the Provider for this algorithm Parameters: c  the context for the Provider to use

void QCA::Algorithm::change (  const QString &  type, const QString &  provider )

For internal use only. This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. Parameters: type  the name of the algorithm to use provider  the name of the preferred provider

Provider::Context* QCA::Algorithm::takeContext (   )

For internal use only. Take the Provider from this algorithm
