Remarks

This constructor creates a new instance of the KeyReference class that represents the <KeyReference> element, using the supplied Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The URI indicates the location of the encrypted key. The <KeyReference> element is a child element of the <ReferenceList> element.

Initializes a new instance of the KeyReference class for XML encryption using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and a TransformChain object.

public:
 KeyReference(System::String ^ uri, System::Security::Cryptography::Xml::TransformChain ^ transformChain);
public KeyReference (string uri, System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.TransformChain transformChain);
new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.KeyReference : string * System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.TransformChain -> System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.KeyReference
Public Sub New (uri As String, transformChain As TransformChain)

Parameters

uri
String

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that points to the encrypted key.

transformChain
TransformChain

A TransformChain object that describes transforms to do on the encrypted key.

Remarks

This constructor creates a new instance of the KeyReference class that represents the <KeyReference> element, using the supplied Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and transform chain. The URI indicates the location of the encrypted key and the transform chain that can contain XPath transforms, decompression transforms, or information on how to retrieve the encrypted data from a document storage facility. The <KeyReference> element is a child element of the <ReferenceList> element.
