Configuring Encryption

Aspose.Cells for Reporting Services supports encryption, and you may render encrypted Microsoft Excel files.

Types of Encryption

Aspose.Cells for Reporting Services supports encryption when exporting Excel files. It supports three encryption types:

• XOR
• WEAK ENCRYPTION
• Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider

Configuration Information

Configuration information for encryption is stored in the Aspose.Cells.ReportingServices.xml file. When the value of Encryption is set to "off", Aspose.Cells.ReportingServices turns encryption off.

XML

<Encryption value="off">
  <Report name="">
    <Password value=""/>
    <EncryptionType value="Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider"/>
    <KeyLength value="128"/>
  </Report>
</Encryption>

When Encryption is set to "on", Aspose.Cells.ReportingServices turns on encryption.

<Encryption value="on">

There are four parameters in the Encryption section: ReportName, Password, EncryptionType, and KeyLength.

• ReportName – Sets the report that needs encryption settings. A report uses the same encryption method when the parameter is blank.
• Password – Sets the password. It cannot be left blank.
• EncryptionType – Sets the encryption type. It cannot be left blank.
• KeyLength – Sets the key length. It cannot be left blank.
