The following example shows the use of members of the KeySizes class.

SymmetricAlgorithm rijn = SymmetricAlgorithm.Create(); ShowKeys(rijn.LegalKeySizes, rijn.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("rijn.blocksize:" + rijn.BlockSize); // Create a new RSA algorithm and display its key values. RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaCSP = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(384); ShowKeys(rsaCSP.LegalKeySizes, rsaCSP.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("RSACryptoServiceProvider KeySize = " + rsaCSP.KeySize); Console.WriteLine("This sample completed successfully; " + "press Enter to exit."); Console.ReadLine(); } // Display specified KeySize properties to the console. private static void ShowKeys(KeySizes[] keySizes, string objectName) { // Retrieve the first KeySizes in the array.
