This class enables you to create a UI policy for displaying prompts about key operations such as smart card PIN prompts. It also enables you to enforce user interaction to access a key, even if the key is stored in a software key storage provider (KSP) instead of in a smart card. CNG displays these configuration parameters for the UI when you access a protected key.
