customClassName | Contains the information for the cryptography class. Use this attribute to provide a short name for your class. You must specify a string that meets the requirements specified in Specifying Fully Qualified Type Names. |
Example
The following example shows how use the <cryptoClass> element to reference a cryptography class and to configure the runtime so that System.Security.CryptoConfig.CreateFromName("RSA") and System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm.Create return a MyCryptoRSAClass
object.
<configuration>
<mscorlib>
<cryptographySettings>
<cryptoNameMapping>
<cryptoClasses>
<cryptoClass MyCryptoRSA="MyCryptoRSAClass, MyAssembly
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5d015c7d5a0b012,
Version=1.0.0.0"/>
</cryptoClasses>
<nameEntry name="RSA" class="MyCryptoRSA"/>
<nameEntry name="System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm"
class="MyCryptoRSA"/>
</cryptoNameMapping>
</cryptographySettings>
</mscorlib>
</configuration>
