SigningCredentials Class
Represents the cryptographic key and security algorithms that are used to generate a digital signature.
System.IdentityModel.Tokens.SigningCredentials
System.IdentityModel.Tokens.X509SigningCredentials
Assembly: System.IdentityModel (in System.IdentityModel.dll)
The SigningCredentials type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SigningCredentials(SecurityKey, String, String) | Initializes a new instance of the SigningCredentials class. |
| SigningCredentials(SecurityKey, String, String, SecurityKeyIdentifier) | Initializes a new instance of the SigningCredentials class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DigestAlgorithm | Gets the cryptographic algorithm that is used to compute the digest for the portion of the SOAP message that is to be digitally signed. |
| SignatureAlgorithm | Gets the cryptographic algorithm that is used to generate the digital signature. |
| SigningKey | Gets the cryptographic key that is used to generate the digital signature. |
| SigningKeyIdentifier | Gets the identifier that represents the key that is used to create a digital signature. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Use the SigningCredentials class to specify the signing key, signing key identifier, and security algorithms that are used by WCF to generate the digital signature for a SamlAssertion. To set the digital signature details, set the SigningCredentials property of the SamlAssertion class.
