(Chilkat2-Python) Transition from RandomizeKey to GenRandomBytesENC

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

import chilkat2

crypt = chilkat2.Crypt2()

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
crypt.KeyLength = 256
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

# Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
crypt.RandomizeKey()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"
randomKeyBase64 = crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(32)
crypt.SetEncodedKey(randomKeyBase64,"base64")
