SecurityKeyElement Class

[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

Provides delayed resolution of security keys by resolving the SecurityKeyIdentifierClause or SecurityKeyIdentifier only when cryptographic functions are needed. This allows a key clause or identifier that is never used by an application to be serialized and deserialzied on and off the wire without issue.
