GenerateSymmetricKey

GenerateSymmetricKey[] randomly generates a SymmetricKey object suitable for use with cryptographic functions.

• GenerateSymmetricKey["password"] derives a SymmetricKey object from the password string given.
• GenerateSymmetricKey[bytes] generates a SymmetricKey object using the byte array directly as the key.
• GenerateSymmetricKey[DerivedKey[...]] generates a symmetric key from a DerivedKey object.
• GenerateSymmetricKey[opts] randomly generates a symmetric key using the specified options.

Examples

Generate a random symmetric key:

key = GenerateSymmetricKey[]

Generate from a password:

GenerateSymmetricKey["mypassword"]
