Defines methods that allow an AsymmetricAlgorithm class to enumerate key container information, and import and export Microsoft Cryptographic API (CAPI)–compatible key blobs.

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public interface ICspAsymmetricAlgorithm

The ICspAsymmetricAlgorithm type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property CspKeyContainerInfo Gets a CspKeyContainerInfo object that describes additional information about a cryptographic key pair.
Top
  Name Description
Public method ExportCspBlob Exports a blob that contains the key information associated with an AsymmetricAlgorithm object.
Public method ImportCspBlob Imports a blob that represents asymmetric key information.
