The RSA type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
KeyExchangeAlgorithm | When overridden in a derived class, gets the name of the key exchange algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
|
KeySize | Gets or sets the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
|
LegalKeySizes | Gets the key sizes that are supported by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
|
SignatureAlgorithm | Gets the name of the signature algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Clear | Releases all resources used by the AsymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
Create() | Creates an instance of the default implementation of the RSA algorithm. |
|
|
Create(String) | Creates an instance of the specified implementation of RSA. |
|
|
DecryptValue | When overridden in a derived class, decrypts the input data using the private key. |
|
|
Dispose() | Releases all resources used by the current instance of the AsymmetricAlgorithm class. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the AsymmetricAlgorithm class and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
|
EncryptValue | When overridden in a derived class, encrypts the input data using the public key. |
|
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ExportParameters | When overridden in a derived class, exports the RSAParameters. |
|
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
FromXmlString | Initializes an RSA object from the key information from an XML string. (Overrides AsymmetricAlgorithm.FromXmlString(String).) |
|
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ImportParameters | When overridden in a derived class, imports the specified RSAParameters. |
|
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
ToXmlString | Creates and returns an XML string containing the key of the current RSA object. (Overrides AsymmetricAlgorithm.ToXmlString(Boolean).) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
KeySizeValue | Represents the size, in bits, of the key modulus used by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
|
|
LegalKeySizesValue | Specifies the key sizes that are supported by the asymmetric algorithm. (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
Extending this class proves that you are implementing an RSA key. This is required for any developer providing a new RSA key implementation.
The only purpose of this class is as a hierarchy member for identification of the RSA algorithm.
In Silverlight for Windows Phone, the RSACryptoServiceProvider supports key lengths from 384 bits to 4800 bits in increments of 8 bits.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
