[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

Answers question: is the algorithm Symmetric.

Namespace: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel (in Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim instance As SecurityKeyElement
Dim algorithm As String
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.IsSymmetricAlgorithm(algorithm)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function IsSymmetricAlgorithm ( _
    algorithm As String _
) As Boolean

public override bool IsSymmetricAlgorithm (
    string algorithm
)

public:
virtual bool IsSymmetricAlgorithm (
    String^ algorithm
) override

public boolean IsSymmetricAlgorithm (
    String algorithm
)

public override function IsSymmetricAlgorithm (
    algorithm : String
) : boolean

Parameters

algorithm
Algorithm to check.

Return Value

True if algorithm will be processed by runtime as Symmetric.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
