Specifies whether the new database should be using AES_FIPS encryption or AES encryption.

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public Property FIPS As Boolean

C#

public bool FIPS  { get; set; }

Property value

True if the database should be encrypted using AES_FIPS, false if the database should be encrypted with AES. The default is false.

Remarks

Encryption must be turned on by supplying a value for the connection parameter EncryptionKey when the new database is created. If FIPS is set true and no encryption key is supplied, the ULDatabaseManager.CreateDatabase(string,byte[],string) method will fail with a missing encryption key error.
