EncryptedReference Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.dll

Represents the abstract base class used in XML encryption from which the CipherReference, KeyReference, and DataReference classes derive.

Examples

The following example uses the GetXml method in the CipherReference class to write the XML values to the console.

#using <System.Xml.dll>
#using <System.Security.dll>
#using <System.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::Xml;
using namespace System::Xml;
using namespace System::IO;

/// This sample used the GetXml method in the CipherReference class to 
/// write the XML values for the CipherReference to the console.

[STAThread]
int main()
{
   
   //Create a URI string.
   String^ uri = "http://www.woodgrovebank.com/document.xml";
   
   // Create a Base64 transform. The input content retrieved from the
   // URI should be Base64-decoded before other processing.
   Transform^ base64 = gcnew XmlDsigBase64Transform;
   
   //Create a transform chain and add the transform to it.
   TransformChain^ tc = gcnew TransformChain;
   tc->Add( base64 );
   
   //Create <CipherReference> information.
   CipherReference ^ reference = gcnew CipherReference( uri,tc );
   
   // Write the CipherReference value to the console.
   Console::WriteLine( "Cipher Reference data: {0}", reference->GetXml()->OuterXml );
}

{
    class CipherReference2
    {
        [STAThread]

            Transform base64 = new XmlDsigBase64Transform();

            //Create a transform chain and add the transform to it.
            TransformChain tc = new TransformChain();

            tc.Add(base64);

            //Create <CipherReference> information.
            CipherReference reference = new CipherReference(uri, tc);

Constructors

EncryptedReference()	Initializes a new instance of the EncryptedReference class.
EncryptedReference(String, TransformChain)	Initializes a new instance of the EncryptedReference class using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and transform chain.
EncryptedReference(String)	Initializes a new instance of the EncryptedReference class using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

Properties

CacheValid	Gets a value that indicates whether the cache is valid.
ReferenceType	Gets or sets a reference type.
TransformChain	Gets or sets the transform chain of an EncryptedReference object.
Uri	Gets or sets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an EncryptedReference object.
