RSAParameters

The parameters for RSA.

Examples

The following code example imports key information created from an RSAParameters object into an RSACryptoServiceProvider object.

C#

try
{
    //Create a new RSACryptoServiceProvider object. 
    using (RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider())
    {
        //Export the key information to an RSAParameters object.
        //Pass false to export the public key information or pass
        //true to export public and private key information.
        RSAParameters RSAParams = RSA.ExportParameters(false);

        //Create another RSACryptoServiceProvider object.
        using (RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA2 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider())
        {
        //Import the key information from the other 
        //RSACryptoServiceProvider object.  
        RSA2.ImportParameters(RSAParams);
        }
    }
}
catch (CryptographicException e)
{
    //Catch this exception in case the encryption did
    //not succeed.
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
