Remarks
This class represents the <EncryptedKey>
element in XML encryption. The <EncryptedKey>
element is used to send encryption keys. It can be created in a stand-alone XML document, be placed within an application document, or be inside an <EncryptedData>
element as a child of a <KeyInfo>
element. The key value is always encrypted to the recipient. When <EncryptedKey>
is decrypted, the resulting key is made available to the <EncryptionMethod>
algorithm without any additional processing.
The <EncryptedKey>
element is similar to the <EncryptedData>
element of the EncryptedData class except that the data encrypted is always a key value.
