public ref class AlgorithmIdentifier sealed

	Name	Description
	AlgorithmIdentifier()	The AlgorithmIdentifier() constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class by using a set of default parameters.
	AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid^)	The AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid^) constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class with the specified algorithm identifier.
	AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid^, Int32)	The AlgorithmIdentifier(Oid^, Int32) constructor creates an instance of the AlgorithmIdentifier class with the specified algorithm identifier and key length.

	Name	Description
	KeyLength	The KeyLength property sets or retrieves the key length, in bits. This property is not used for algorithms that use a fixed key length.
	Oid	The Oid property sets or retrieves the Oid object that specifies the object identifier for the algorithm.
	Parameters	The Parameters property sets or retrieves any parameters required by the algorithm.

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
