AsymmetricAlgorithm.KeySize Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets or sets the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm.
public:
virtual property int KeySize { int get(); void set(int value); };
public virtual int KeySize { get; set; }
member this.KeySize : int with get, set
Public Overridable Property KeySize As Integer
Property Value
The size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm.
Exceptions
The key modulus size is invalid.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to override the KeySize property to verify that it falls within the range identified in the local keySizes
member variable. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the AsymmetricAlgorithm class.
public:
property int KeySize
{
virtual int get() override
{
return KeySizeValue;
}
virtual void set(int value) override
{
for (int i = 0; i < customValidKeySizes->Length; i++)
{
if (customValidKeySizes[i]->SkipSize == 0)
{
if (customValidKeySizes[i]->MinSize == value)
{
KeySizeValue = value;
return;
}
}
else
{
for (int j = customValidKeySizes[i]->MinSize;
j <= customValidKeySizes[i]->MaxSize;
j += customValidKeySizes[i]->SkipSize)
{
if (j == value)
{
KeySizeValue = value;
return;
}
}
}
}
// If the key does not fall within the range identified
// in the keySizes member variable, throw an exception.
throw gcnew CryptographicException("Invalid key size.");
}
}
public override int KeySize
{
get { return KeySizeValue; }
set
{
for (int i=0; i < keySizes.Length; i++)
{
if (keySizes[i].SkipSize == 0)
{
if (keySizes[i].MinSize == value)
{
KeySizeValue = value;
return;
}
}
else
{
for (int j = keySizes[i].MinSize;
j <= keySizes[i].MaxSize;
j += keySizes[i].SkipSize)
{
if (j == value)
{
KeySizeValue = value;
return;
}
}
}
}
// If the key does not fall within the range identified
// in the keySizes member variable, throw an exception.
throw new CryptographicException("Invalid key size.");
}
}
Public Overrides Property KeySize() As Integer
Get
Return KeySizeValue
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
For i As Int16 = 0 To keySizes.Length - 1 Step i
If (keySizes(i).SkipSize.Equals(0)) Then
If (keySizes(i).MinSize.Equals(Value)) Then
KeySizeValue = Value
Return
End If
Else
For j As Integer = keySizes(i).MinSize _
To keySizes(i).MaxSize _
Step keySizes(i).SkipSize
If (j.Equals(Value)) Then
KeySizeValue = Value
Return
End If
Next
End If
Next
' If the key does not fall within the range identified
' in the keySizes member variable, throw an exception.
Throw New CryptographicException("Invalid key size.")
End Set
End Property
Remarks
The valid key sizes are specified by the particular implementation of the asymmetric algorithm and are listed in the LegalKeySizes property.
