ICspAlgorithm::get_LongName method (certenroll.h)

  • Article

The LongName property retrieves the full name of the algorithm.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_LongName(
  BSTR *pValue
);

Parameters

pValue

Return value

None

Remarks

The Name property retrieves a short algorithm name. Call the LongName property to retrieve a more descriptive name. The names are not localized. Examples are shown in the following table.

Note  Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) key storage providers (KSPs) do not support the long name concept. The LongName property and Name property return an abbreviated name.
