Gets the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

public:
 override System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ GetAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm, bool requiresPrivateKey);

public override System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm, bool requiresPrivateKey);

override this.GetAsymmetricAlgorithm : string * bool -> System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm

Public Overrides Function GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String, requiresPrivateKey As Boolean) As AsymmetricAlgorithm

Parameters

algorithm: String

The asymmetric algorithm to create.

requiresPrivateKey: Boolean

true when a private key is required to create the algorithm; otherwise, false.

Returns

AsymmetricAlgorithm

An AsymmetricAlgorithm that represents the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

Exceptions

CryptographicException

requiresPrivateKey is true and a private key is not available.
