Remarks

Key exchange allows a sender to create secret information (such as random data that can be used as a key in a symmetric encryption algorithm) and use encryption to send it to the intended recipient.

Use RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeDeformatter to receive the key exchange and extract the secret information from it.

Caution

We recommend that you do not attempt to create your own key exchange method from the basic functionality provided, because many details of the operation must be performed carefully in order for the key exchange to be successful.

Constructors

RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter()	Initializes a new instance of the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class.
RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter(AsymmetricAlgorithm)	Initializes a new instance of the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class with the specified key.

Properties

Parameters	Gets the parameters for the PKCS #1 key exchange.
Rng	Gets or sets the random number generator algorithm to use in the creation of the key exchange.

Methods

CreateKeyExchange(Byte[])	Creates the encrypted key exchange data from the specified input data.
CreateKeyExchange(Byte[], Type)	Creates the encrypted key exchange data from the specified input data.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm)	Sets the public key to use for encrypting the key exchange data.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
