Overloads

Exists(String)

Checks to see whether a named key exists in the default key storage provider (KSP).

Exists(String, CngProvider)

Checks to see whether a named key exists in the specified key storage provider (KSP).

Exists(String, CngProvider, CngKeyOpenOptions)

Parameters

keyName
String

The key name.

Returns

true if the named key exists in the default KSP; otherwise, false.

Public Shared Function Exists (keyName As String, provider As CngProvider) As Boolean

Parameters

keyName
String

The key name.

provider
CngProvider

The KSP to check for the key.

Returns

true if the named key exists in the specified provider; otherwise, false.

Attributes
