When overridden in a derived class, gets the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.
public:
abstract System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ GetAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm, bool privateKey);
public abstract System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm, bool privateKey);
abstract member GetAsymmetricAlgorithm : string * bool -> System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm
Public MustOverride Function GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String, privateKey As Boolean) As AsymmetricAlgorithm
Parameters
- algorithm
- String
The asymmetric algorithm to create.
- privateKey
- Boolean
true
when a private key is required to create the algorithm; otherwise, false
.
Returns
An AsymmetricAlgorithm that represents the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.
Typically, true
is passed into the privateKey
parameter, as a private key is typically required for decryption.
Remarks
Use the static fields of the SecurityAlgorithms class to specify the algorithm.
