 virtual CryptographicKey ^ CreateKeyPairWithCurveParameters(Platform::Array <byte> ^ parameters) = CreateKeyPairWithCurveParameters;

CryptographicKey CreateKeyPairWithCurveParameters(winrt::array_view <byte> const& parameters);

public CryptographicKey CreateKeyPairWithCurveParameters(byte[] parameters);

function createKeyPairWithCurveParameters(parameters)

Public Function CreateKeyPairWithCurveParameters (parameters As Byte()) As CryptographicKey

Parameters

parameters: Byte[]

byte[]

An array of bytes containing the curve parameters.

Returns

CryptographicKey

Represents the generated Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) asymmetric key pair.

Examples

The following example creates a new ECDSA curve from curve parameters.

Byte[] myCurveParameters =
{
0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,

Remarks

The private key generated is a random integer. The public key is a point, with X and Y coordinates, on an ECDSA curve.
