The SymmetricSecurityKey type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SymmetricSecurityKey | Initializes a new instance of the SymmetricSecurityKey class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| KeySize | When overridden in a derived class, gets the size, in bits, of the key. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DecryptKey | When overridden in a derived class, decrypts the specified encrypted key. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| EncryptKey | When overridden in a derived class, encrypts the specified key. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| 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.) |
| GenerateDerivedKey | When overridden in a derived class, generates a derived key using the specified cryptographic algorithm and parameters for the current key. |
| GetDecryptionTransform | When overridden in a derived class, gets a transform that decrypts cipher text using the specified cryptographic algorithm. |
| GetEncryptionTransform | When overridden in a derived class, gets a transform that encrypts XML using the specified cryptographic algorithm. |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetIVSize | When overridden in a derived class, gets the size, in bits, of the initialization vector (IV) that is required for the specified cryptographic algorithm. |
| GetKeyedHashAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets an instance of the specified keyed hash algorithm. |
| GetSymmetricAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets an instance of the specified symmetric algorithm. |
| GetSymmetricKey | When overridden in a derived class, gets the bytes that represent the symmetric key. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| IsAsymmetricAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses asymmetric keys. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| IsSupportedAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm is supported by this class. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| IsSymmetricAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses symmetric keys. (Inherited from SecurityKey.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
