PublicKeyBlob Structure

Represents, in binary format, the public key of a public/private key pair.

typedef struct {
    unsigned int SigAlgId;
    unsigned int HashAlgId;
    ULONG cbPublicKey;
    BYTE PublicKey[1]
} PublicKeyBlob;

Members

Member	Description
SigAlgId	The identifier for the signature algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
HashAlgId	The identifier for the hash algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
cbPublicKey	The length of the key in bytes.
PublicKey	A variable-length byte array that contains the key value in the format returned by the CryptoAPI.

The PublicKeyBlob structure is used by StrongNameGetPublicKey Function, StrongNameSignatureGeneration Function, and other strong name functions to represent the public key of a public/private key pair.
