KeySizes Class
.NET Framework 4.5
Determines the set of valid key sizes for the symmetric cryptographic algorithms.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The KeySizes type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (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.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The following example shows the use of members of the KeySizes class.
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; namespace Contoso { class KeySizesMembers { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { // Initializes a new instance of the KeySizes class with the // specified key values. int minSize = 64; int maxSize = 1024; int skipSize = 64; KeySizes keySizes = new KeySizes(minSize, maxSize, skipSize); // Show the values of the keys. ShowKeys(new KeySizes[1]{keySizes}, "Custom Keys"); // Create a new symmetric algorithm and display its key values. SymmetricAlgorithm rijn = SymmetricAlgorithm.Create(); ShowKeys(rijn.LegalKeySizes, rijn.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("rijn.blocksize:" + rijn.BlockSize); // Create a new RSA algorithm and display its key values. RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaCSP = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(384); ShowKeys(rsaCSP.LegalKeySizes, rsaCSP.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("RSACryptoServiceProvider KeySize = " + rsaCSP.KeySize); Console.WriteLine("This sample completed successfully; " + "press Enter to exit."); Console.ReadLine(); } // Display specified KeySize properties to the console. private static void ShowKeys(KeySizes[] keySizes, string objectName) { // Retrieve the first KeySizes in the array. KeySizes firstKeySize = keySizes[0]; // Retrieve the minimum key size in bits. int minKeySize = firstKeySize.MinSize; // Retrieve the maximum key size in bits. int maxKeySize = firstKeySize.MaxSize; // Retrieve the interval between valid key size in bits. int skipKeySize = firstKeySize.SkipSize; Console.Write("\n KeySizes retrieved from the "); Console.WriteLine(objectName + " object."); Console.WriteLine("Minimum key size bits: " + minKeySize); Console.WriteLine("Maximum key size bits: " + maxKeySize); Console.WriteLine("Interval between key size bits: " + skipKeySize); } } } // // This sample produces the following output: // // KeySizes retrieved from the Custom Keys object. // Minimum key size bits: 64 // Maximum key size bits: 1024 // Interval between key size bits: 64 // // KeySizes retrieved from the System.Security.Cryptography.RijndaelManaged // object. // Minimum key size bits: 128 // Maximum key size bits: 256 // Interval between key size bits: 64 // rijn.blocksize:128 // // KeySizes retrieved from the // System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider object. // Minimum key size bits: 384 // Maximum key size bits: 16384 // Interval between key size bits: 8 // RSACryptoServiceProvider KeySize = 384 // This sample completed successfully; press Enter to exit.
