Represents, in binary format, the public key of a public/private key pair.

Syntax

typedef struct {  
    unsigned int SigAlgId;  
    unsigned int HashAlgId;  
    ULONG cbPublicKey;  
    BYTE PublicKey[1]  
} PublicKeyBlob;

Members

Member Description
SigAlgId The identifier for the signature algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
HashAlgId The identifier for the hash algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
cbPublicKey The length of the key in bytes.
PublicKey A variable-length byte array that contains the key value in the format returned by the CryptoAPI.
