ECAlgorithm.ImportPkcs8PrivateKey(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>, Int32) Method

Definition

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.

Imports the public/private keypair from a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo structure after decryption, replacing the keys for this object.

C#
public override void ImportPkcs8PrivateKey(ReadOnlySpan<byte> source, out int bytesRead);

Parameters

source
ReadOnlySpan<Byte>

The bytes of a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo structure in the ASN.1-BER encoding.

bytesRead
Int32

When this method returns, contains a value that indicates the number of bytes read from source. This parameter is treated as uninitialized.

Exceptions

A derived class has not provided an implementation for ImportParameters(ECParameters).

The contents of source do not represent an ASN.1-BER-encoded PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo structure.

-or-

The contents of source indicate the key is for an algorithm other than the algorithm represented by this instance.

-or-

The contents of source represent the key in a format that is not supported.

-or-

The algorithm-specific key import failed.

Remarks

This method only supports the binary (BER/CER/DER) encoding of PrivateKeyInfo. If the value is Base64-encoded, the caller must Base64-decode the contents before calling this method. If the value is PEM-encoded, ImportFromPem(ReadOnlySpan<Char>) should be used.
