Exceptions

CryptographicException

The key or curve parameters are not valid for the current curve type.

Remarks

The Validate method checks the integrity of the ECParameters structure, throwing a CryptographicException when it is not valid. The following are the requirements:

  • Q.X and Q.Y are required fields and must have the same length.

  • If the curve is an explicit curve, D is required and must have the same length as Curve.Order.

  • If the curve is a named curve, D is required and must have the same length as Q.X and Q.Y.

  • Curve.Validate must also succeed.
