RsaSecurityKey.GetAsymmetricAlgorithm(String, Boolean) Method

Definition

Gets the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

public:
 override System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ GetAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm, bool requiresPrivateKey);
public override System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm, bool requiresPrivateKey);
override this.GetAsymmetricAlgorithm : string * bool -> System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm
Public Overrides Function GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String, requiresPrivateKey As Boolean) As AsymmetricAlgorithm

Parameters

algorithm
String

The asymmetric algorithm to create.

requiresPrivateKey
Boolean

true when a private key is required to create the algorithm; otherwise, false.

Returns

An AsymmetricAlgorithm that represents the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

Exceptions

requiresPrivateKey is true and a private key is not available.
