Properties

EncryptedKey

The EncryptedKey abstract property retrieves the encrypted recipient keying material.

KeyEncryptionAlgorithm

The KeyEncryptionAlgorithm abstract property retrieves the algorithm used to perform the key establishment.

RecipientIdentifier

The RecipientIdentifier abstract property retrieves the identifier of the recipient.

Type

The Type property retrieves the type of the recipient. The type of the recipient determines which of two major protocols is used to establish a key between the originator and the recipient of a CMS/PKCS #7 message.

Version

The Version abstract property retrieves the version of the recipient information. Derived classes automatically set this property for their objects, and the value indicates whether it is using PKCS #7 or Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS) to protect messages. The version also implies whether the RecipientInfo object establishes a cryptographic key by a key agreement algorithm or a key transport algorithm.
