RSAOAEPKeyExchangeFormatter.SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm) Method

Definition

Sets the public key to use for encrypting the key exchange data.

C#
public override void SetKey(System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm key);

Parameters

key
AsymmetricAlgorithm

The instance of the RSA algorithm that holds the public key.

Exceptions

key is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SetKey method to set an RSA key for decryption. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the RSAOAEPKeyExchangeFormatter class.

C#
RSA key = RSA.Create();
rsaFormatter.SetKey(key);

Remarks

You must set the key before calling CreateKeyExchange.
