Inheritance

Object

SecurityKey

Derived

System.IdentityModel.Tokens.AsymmetricSecurityKey

System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityKeyElement

System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SymmetricSecurityKey

Remarks

Security keys are used for cryptographic operations, such as generating digital signatures and encrypting XML data.

Constructors

SecurityKey()

Initializes a new instance of the SecurityKey class.

Properties

KeySize

When overridden in a derived class, gets the size, in bits, of the key.

Methods

DecryptKey(String, Byte[])	When overridden in a derived class, decrypts the specified encrypted key.
EncryptKey(String, Byte[])	When overridden in a derived class, encrypts the specified key.
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)
IsAsymmetricAlgorithm(String)	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses asymmetric keys.
IsSupportedAlgorithm(String)	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm is supported by this class.
IsSymmetricAlgorithm(String)	When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses symmetric keys.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
