Constructors

ECAlgorithm()

Initializes a new instance of the ECAlgorithm class.

Fields

KeySizeValue	Represents the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
LegalKeySizesValue	Specifies the key sizes that are supported by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)

Properties

KeyExchangeAlgorithm	When overridden in a derived class, gets the name of the key exchange algorithm. Otherwise, throws an NotImplementedException. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
KeySize	Gets or sets the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
LegalKeySizes	Gets the key sizes that are supported by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
SignatureAlgorithm	When implemented in a derived class, gets the name of the signature algorithm. Otherwise, always throws a NotImplementedException. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)

Methods

Clear()	Releases all resources used by the AsymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
Dispose()	Releases all resources used by the current instance of the AsymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the AsymmetricAlgorithm class and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
ExportECPrivateKey()	Exports the current key in the ECPrivateKey format.
ExportECPrivateKeyPem()	Exports the current key in the ECPrivateKey format, PEM encoded.
ExportEncryptedPkcs8PrivateKey(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>, PbeParameters)	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format with a byte-based password. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportEncryptedPkcs8PrivateKey(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, PbeParameters)	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format with a char-based password. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportEncryptedPkcs8PrivateKeyPem(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>, PbeParameters)	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format with a byte-based password, PEM encoded. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportEncryptedPkcs8PrivateKeyPem(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, PbeParameters)	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format with a char-based password, PEM encoded. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportExplicitParameters(Boolean)	When overridden in a derived class, exports the explicit ECParameters for an ECCurve.
ExportParameters(Boolean)	When overridden in a derived class, exports the named or explicit ECParameters for an ECCurve. If the curve has a name, the Curve property will contain named curve parameters otherwise it will contain explicit parameters.
ExportPkcs8PrivateKey()	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo format. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportPkcs8PrivateKeyPem()	Exports the current key in the PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo format, PEM encoded. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportSubjectPublicKeyInfo()	Exports the public-key portion of the current key in the X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo format. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
ExportSubjectPublicKeyInfoPem()	Exports the public-key portion of the current key in the X.509 SubjectPublicKeyInfo format, PEM encoded. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
FromXmlString(String)	When overridden in a derived class, reconstructs an AsymmetricAlgorithm object from an XML string. Otherwise, throws a NotImplementedException. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm)
GenerateKey(ECCurve)	When overridden in a derived class, generates a new public/private keypair for the specified curve.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
ImportECPrivateKey(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>, Int32)	Imports the public/private keypair from an ECPrivateKey structure, replacing the keys for this object.
