Remarks

The CngKeyBlobFormat class is a utility class. It consists of static properties, comparison methods, and a private, internally maintained string that specifies the key BLOB format name.

The static properties return CngKeyBlobFormat objects. Each object's internal string name is initialized to the key BLOB format name that corresponds to the name of the static property.

You can also use this class to create objects for key BLOB formats that are not covered by the static properties.

Several CNG classes (such as CngKey) accept CngKeyBlobFormat objects through a format parameter. When the class receives the CngKeyBlobFormat object, it retrieves the embedded name of the key BLOB format by calling the object's Format property.

Therefore, CngKeyBlobFormat serves as an enumeration of well-known key BLOB formats. It lets you identify a well-known key BLOB format by using a strongly typed value instead of a string.

Note

CNG classes don't work on non-Windows platforms.

Constructors

CngKeyBlobFormat(String)

Initializes a new instance of the CngKeyBlobFormat class by using the specified format.

Properties

EccPrivateBlob

Gets a CngKeyBlobFormat object that specifies a private key BLOB for an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) key.

EccPublicBlob

Gets a CngKeyBlobFormat object that specifies a public key BLOB for an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) key.

Format

Gets the name of the key BLOB format that the current CngKeyBlobFormat object specifies.

GenericPrivateBlob

Gets a CngKeyBlobFormat object that specifies a generic private key BLOB.

GenericPublicBlob

Methods

Equals(CngKeyBlobFormat)

Compares the specified CngKeyBlobFormat object to the current CngKeyBlobFormat object.

Equals(Object)

Compares the specified object to the current CngKeyBlobFormat object.

GetHashCode()

Generates a hash value for the embedded key BLOB format in the current CngKeyBlobFormat object.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Gets the name of the key BLOB format that the current CngKeyBlobFormat object specifies.

Operators

Equality(CngKeyBlobFormat, CngKeyBlobFormat)

Determines whether two CngKeyBlobFormat objects specify the same key BLOB format.

Inequality(CngKeyBlobFormat, CngKeyBlobFormat)

Determines whether two CngKeyBlobFormat objects do not specify the same key BLOB format.
