Utilities.cryptoEnabled

Checks if encryption is enabled.

Syntax

public static final boolean 
cryptoEnabled()

Description

The cryptoEnabled method checks whether encryption is enabled. This requires that the encryption package be installed. cryptoEnabled should always return true, since an encryption package is included as part of ContentServer.

Returns

Returns true if encryption is enabled, false otherwise.

Example

The following code calls cryptoEnabled to ensure that encryption is enabled prior to encrypting a string.

if (Utilities.cryptoEnabled())
{
    String clear_text = "Attack at dawn.";
    String encrypted_text = Utilities.encryptString(clear_text);
    String decrypted_text =
                        Utilities.decryptString(encrypted_text);
    if( !decrypted_text.equals(clear_text) )
    {
        // something turned out wrong
    }
}
