AlgorithmIdentifier Class
The AlgorithmIdentifier class defines the algorithm used for a cryptographic operation.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs
Assembly: System.Security (in System.Security.dll)
The AlgorithmIdentifier type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AlgorithmIdentifier() | The AlgorithmIdentifier() constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class by using a set of default parameters. |
| AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid) | The AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid) constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class with the specified algorithm identifier. |
| AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid, Int32) | The AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid, Int32) constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class with the specified algorithm identifier and key length. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| KeyLength | The KeyLength property sets or retrieves the key length, in bits. This property is not used for algorithms that use a fixed key length. |
| Oid | The Oid property sets or retrieves the Oid object that specifies the object identifier for the algorithm. |
| Parameters | The Parameters property sets or retrieves any parameters required by the algorithm. |
| 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.) |
| Note |

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
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.
