RSAPKCS1SignatureFormatter.CreateSignature Method (Byte[])

Creates the RSA PKCS #1 signature for the specified data.

Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
virtual array<unsigned char>^ CreateSignature (
	array<unsigned char>^ rgbHash
) override
public byte[] CreateSignature (
	byte[] rgbHash
)
public override function CreateSignature (
	rgbHash : byte[]
) : byte[]

Parameters

rgbHash

The data to be signed.

Return Value

The digital signature for rgbHash.
Exception typeCondition

CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException

The key is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

-or-

The hash algorithm is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

ArgumentNullException

The rgbHash parameter is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

You must specify a key and a hash algorithm before calling this method.
