AsymmetricKeyExchangeDeformatter Class

.NET Framework (current version)

Represents the base class from which all asymmetric key exchange deformatters derive.

Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography

Syntax

C++

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class AsymmetricKeyExchangeDeformatter abstract

Constructors

	Name	Description
	AsymmetricKeyExchangeDeformatter()	Initializes a new instance of AsymmetricKeyExchangeDeformatter.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Parameters	When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the parameters for the asymmetric key exchange.

Methods

	Name	Description
	DecryptKeyExchange(array<Byte>^)	When overridden in a derived class, extracts secret information from the encrypted key exchange data.
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize()	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)
	SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm^)	When overridden in a derived class, sets the private key to use for decrypting the secret information.
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Asymmetric key exchange deformatters decrypt key exchange data.

Key exchange allows a sender to create secret information, such as random data that can be used as a key in a symmetric encryption algorithm, and use encryption to send it to the intended recipient.

Caution
It is highly recommended that you not attempt to create your own key exchange method from the basic functionality provided, because many details of the operation must be performed carefully in order for the key exchange to be successful.
