Examples

The following code example creates a key container and retrieves information about that container.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography;
using namespace System::Text;
int main()
{
   RSACryptoServiceProvider^ rsa = gcnew RSACryptoServiceProvider;
   try
   {
      
      // Note: In cases where a random key is generated,   
      // a key container is not created until you call  
      // a method that uses the key.  This example calls
      // the Encrypt method before calling the
      // CspKeyContainerInfo property so that a key
      // container is created.  
      // Create some data to encrypt and display it.
      String^ data = L"Here is some data to encrypt.";
      Console::WriteLine( L"Data to encrypt: {0}", data );
      
      // Convert the data to an array of bytes and 
      // encrypt it.
      array<Byte>^byteData = Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes( data );
      array<Byte>^encData = rsa->Encrypt( byteData, false );
      
      // Display the encrypted value.
      Console::WriteLine( L"Encrypted Data: {0}", Encoding::ASCII->GetString( encData ) );
      Console::WriteLine();
      Console::WriteLine( L"CspKeyContainerInfo information:" );
      Console::WriteLine();
      
      // Create a new CspKeyContainerInfo object.
      CspKeyContainerInfo^ keyInfo = rsa->CspKeyContainerInfo;

Remarks

Valid values are determined by the cryptographic service provider used to create the key. Cryptographic service providers are generally organized into groups or families, each of which has its own set of data formats and processes. Two families that use the same algorithm, such as the RC2 block cipher, often use different padding schemes, different key lengths, and different default modes.
