X509AsymmetricSecurityKey.IsAsymmetricAlgorithm(String) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.IdentityModel.Tokens

Assembly:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives.dll

Package:

System.ServiceModel.Primitives v6.2.0

Source:

X509AsymmetricSecurityKey.cs

Gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses asymmetric keys.

public:
 override bool IsAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm);

public override bool IsAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm);

override this.IsAsymmetricAlgorithm : string -> bool

Public Overrides Function IsAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String) As Boolean

Parameters

algorithm

String

The cryptographic algorithm.

Returns

Boolean

true when the specified algorithm is DsaSha1Signature, RsaSha1Signature, RsaSha256Signature, RsaOaepKeyWrap, or RsaV15KeyWrap; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends a security model based on SHA256 or better.
