Members

	Member name	Description
	DefaultKeySet	The default key set is used. The user key set is usually the default.
	UserKeySet	Private keys are stored in the current user store rather than the local computer store. This occurs even if the certificate specifies that the keys should go in the local computer store.
	MachineKeySet	Private keys are stored in the local computer store rather than the current user store.
	Exportable	Imported keys are marked as exportable.
	UserProtected	Notify the user through a dialog box or other method that the key is accessed. The Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) in use defines the precise behavior.
	PersistKeySet	The key associated with a PFX file is persisted when importing a certificate.
