(PowerShell) 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.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.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")
