DSASignatureFormatter.CreateSignature Method (Byte[])
.NET Framework 4
Creates the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) PKCS #1 signature for the specified data.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- rgbHash
- Type: System.Byte[]
The data to be signed.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException |
rgbHash is null. |
| CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException |
The OID is null. -or- The DSA key is null. |
The resulting signature data can be verified by using VerifySignature.
