SigningCredentials Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.IdentityModel.Tokens

Assembly:

System.IdentityModel.dll

Represents the cryptographic key and security algorithms that are used to generate a digital signature.

public ref class SigningCredentials

public class SigningCredentials

type SigningCredentials = class

Public Class SigningCredentials

Inheritance

Object

SigningCredentials

Derived

System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SigningCredentials

Remarks

Use the SigningCredentials class to specify the signing key, signing key identifier, and security algorithms that are used by WCF to generate the digital signature for a SamlAssertion. To set the digital signature details, set the SigningCredentials property of the SamlAssertion class.

Constructors

SigningCredentials(SecurityKey, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the SigningCredentials class.
SigningCredentials(SecurityKey, String, String, SecurityKeyIdentifier)	Initializes a new instance of the SigningCredentials class.

Properties

DigestAlgorithm	Gets the cryptographic algorithm that is used to compute the digest for the portion of the SOAP message that is to be digitally signed.
SignatureAlgorithm	Gets the cryptographic algorithm that is used to generate the digital signature.
SigningKey	Gets the cryptographic key that is used to generate the digital signature.
SigningKeyIdentifier	Gets the identifier that represents the key that is used to create a digital signature.

Methods

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)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
