Constructors
SecurityKey() |
Initializes a new instance of the SecurityKey class. |
Properties
KeySize |
When overridden in a derived class, gets the size, in bits, of the key. |
Methods
DecryptKey(String, Byte[]) |
When overridden in a derived class, decrypts the specified encrypted key. |
EncryptKey(String, Byte[]) |
When overridden in a derived class, encrypts the specified key. |
Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
IsAsymmetricAlgorithm(String) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses asymmetric keys. |
IsSupportedAlgorithm(String) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm is supported by this class. |
IsSymmetricAlgorithm(String) |
When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses symmetric keys. |
MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
