RSA Class
Represents the base class from which all implementations of the RSA algorithm inherit.
System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm
System.Security.Cryptography.RSA
System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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 it 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.
The RSACryptoServiceProvider supports key lengths from 384 bits to 16384 bits in increments of 8 bits if you have the Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed. It supports key lengths from 384 bits to 512 bits in increments of 8 bits if you have the Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider installed.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
