LDicomNet::GetPeerEncryptionISCL

Show in webframe

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT32 LDicomNet::GetPeerEncryptionISCL();

Returns a value that represents the encryption mode the sender used when sending a message. This function is available in the PACS Imaging toolkits.

Returns

Returns a value representing the current encryption mode used by the sender. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
DICOM_ISCL_ENCRYPT_NONE	The data is transmitted without encryption.
DICOM_ISCL_ENCRYPT_DESCBC	The data is transmitted encrypted using the DES algorithm in cipher block chaining mode.

Comments

This function returns a value that represents the encryption mode the sender used when sending a message to the receiver. If the encryption mode is not the same for the sender and the receiver, the message will not be sent successfully. If the MAC type is not the same on the sender and the receiver, the message will not be sent successfully.

This function can only be called by the receiver, once the sender has attempted to send a message.

To set the encryption mode, use the LDicomNet::SetDefaultEncryptionISCL function.

To set the MAC type, use the LDicomNet::SetDefaultSigningISCL function.

The encryption mode and the MAC are specified for every message, not for each connection. Every message can have a different encryption mode and MAC, keeping the connection parameters unchanged.
