QSslCipher¶

PyQt5.QtNetwork.QSslCipher

Description¶

The QSslCipher class represents an SSL cryptographic cipher.

QSslCipher stores information about one cryptographic cipher. It is most commonly used with QSslSocket, either for configuring which ciphers the socket can use, or for displaying the socket’s ciphers to the user.

Methods¶

__init__(): Constructs an empty QSslCipher object.

__init__(str): TODO

__init__(QSslCipher): Constructs an identical copy of the other cipher.

__init__(str, SslProtocol)

Constructs a QSslCipher object for the cipher determined by name and protocol. The constructor accepts only supported ciphers (i.e., the name and protocol must identify a cipher in the list of ciphers returned by supportedCiphers()).

You can call isNull() after construction to check if name and protocol correctly identified a supported cipher.

authenticationMethod() → str: Returns the cipher’s authentication method as a QString.

encryptionMethod() → str: Returns the cipher’s encryption method as a QString.

__eq__(QSslCipher) → bool: TODO

isNull() → bool: Returns true if this is a null cipher; otherwise returns false.

keyExchangeMethod() → str: Returns the cipher’s key exchange method as a QString.

name() → str: Returns the name of the cipher, or an empty QString if this is a null cipher.

isNull().

__ne__(QSslCipher) → bool: TODO

protocol() → SslProtocol: Returns the cipher’s protocol type, or UnknownProtocol if QSslCipher is unable to determine the protocol (protocolString() may contain more information).

protocolString().

protocolString() → str: Returns the cipher’s protocol as a QString.

supportedBits() → int: Returns the number of bits supported by the cipher.

swap(QSslCipher): TODO

usedBits() → int: Returns the number of bits used by the cipher.
