Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ExportCspBlob Security Critical. Exports a blob that contains the key information associated with an AsymmetricAlgorithm object.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ImportCspBlob Security Critical. Imports a blob that represents asymmetric key information.

Remarks

Classes that extend the AsymmetricAlgorithm class should implement the ICspAsymmetricAlgorithm interface to enumerate key container information using a CspKeyContainerInfo object, and to import and export Microsoft Cryptographic API (CAPI)–compatible key blobs.
