CngKeyUsages Enumeration
.NET Framework (current version)
Specifies the cryptographic operations that a Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) key may be used with.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
Assembly: System.Core (in System.Core.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AllUsages | The key can be used for all purposes. | |
| Decryption | The key can be used for encryption and decryption. | |
| KeyAgreement | The key can be used for secret agreement generation and key exchange. | |
| None | No usage values are assigned to the key. | |
| Signing | The key can be used for signing and verification. |
Not all operations apply to each key. For example, an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) key cannot be used for decryption even if the Decryption usage is set.
