EncryptedReference Class

Represents the abstract base class used in XML encryption from which the CipherReference, KeyReference, and DataReference classes derive.

Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.Xml
Assembly: System.Security (in system.security.dll)

'Declaration
Public MustInherit Class EncryptedReference
'Usage
Dim instance As EncryptedReference

public abstract class EncryptedReference
public abstract class EncryptedReference
Not applicable.

For more information about XML encryption standards, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-encryption-req.

The following code example uses the GetXml method in the CipherReference class to write the XML values to the console.

Imports System
Imports System.Security.Cryptography.Xml
Imports System.Xml
Imports System.IO


' This sample used the GetXml method in the CipherReference class
' to write the value of CipherReference to the console.
Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        ' Create a URI string.
        Dim uri As String = "http://www.woodgrovebank.com/document.xml"
        ' Create a Base64 transform. The input content retrieved from the
        ' URI should be Base64-decoded before other processing.
        Dim base64 As Transform = New XmlDsigBase64Transform
        Dim tc As New TransformChain
        tc.Add(base64)
        ' Create <CipherReference> information.
        Dim reference As CipherReference = New CipherReference(uri, tc)
	' Write the XML for the CipherReference to the console.
	Console.WriteLine("Cipher Reference: {0}", reference.GetXml().OuterXml)
    End Sub

End Module
