X509Certificate2.SignatureAlgorithm Property

Definition

Gets the algorithm used to create the signature of a certificate.

public:
 property System::Security::Cryptography::Oid ^ SignatureAlgorithm { System::Security::Cryptography::Oid ^ get(); };
public System.Security.Cryptography.Oid SignatureAlgorithm { get; }
member this.SignatureAlgorithm : System.Security.Cryptography.Oid
Public ReadOnly Property SignatureAlgorithm As Oid

Property Value

Oid

The object identifier of the signature algorithm.

Exceptions

The certificate is unreadable.

Examples

The following code example opens the current user certificate store, selects only active certificates, then allows the user to select one or more certificates. The example then writes certificate information to the console.
