Remarks

The <CipherReference> element identifies a source which, when processed, yields the encrypted data. For more information about this element, see CipherReference.

Note

A CipherData object can have either a CipherReference property or a CipherValue property, but not both. A CryptographicException is thrown if both are assigned to a CipherData object.
