Methods

  Name Description
Public method CreateSignature(Byte()) Creates the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) PKCS #1 signature for the specified data. (Overrides AsymmetricSignatureFormatter.CreateSignature(Byte()).)
Public method CreateSignature(HashAlgorithm) Creates the signature from the specified hash value. (Inherited from AsymmetricSignatureFormatter.)
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method SetHashAlgorithm Specifies the hash algorithm for the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature formatter. (Overrides AsymmetricSignatureFormatter.SetHashAlgorithm(String).)
Public method SetKey Specifies the key to be used for the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature formatter. (Overrides AsymmetricSignatureFormatter.SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm).)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
