EncryptedType Class

.NET Framework (current version)

Represents the abstract base class from which the classes EncryptedData and EncryptedKey derive.

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

Inheritance Hierarchy

System::Object
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml::EncryptedType
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml::EncryptedData
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml::EncryptedKey

Syntax

C++

[HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, MayLeakOnAbort = true)]
public ref class EncryptedType abstract

Constructors

	Name	Description
	EncryptedType()	Initializes a new instance of the EncryptedType class.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CipherData	Gets or sets the CipherData value for an instance of an EncryptedType class.
	Encoding	Gets or sets the Encoding attribute of an EncryptedType instance in XML encryption.
	EncryptionMethod	Gets or sets the <EncryptionMethod> element for XML encryption.
	EncryptionProperties	Gets or sets the <EncryptionProperties> element in XML encryption.
	Id	Gets or sets the Id attribute of an EncryptedType instance in XML encryption.
	KeyInfo	Gets of sets the <KeyInfo> element in XML encryption.
	MimeType	Gets or sets the MimeType attribute of an EncryptedType instance in XML encryption.
	Type	Gets or sets the Type attribute of an EncryptedType instance in XML encryption.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddProperty(EncryptionProperty^)	Adds an <EncryptionProperty> child element to the <EncryptedProperties> element in the current EncryptedType object in XML encryption.
	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.)
	GetXml()	Returns the XML representation of the EncryptedType object.
	LoadXml(XmlElement^)	Loads XML information into the <EncryptedType> element in XML encryption.
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

The EncryptedType class represents the abstract base class from which the classes EncryptedData and EncryptedKey derive. These two classes contain the actual encrypted data or key information in XML encryption. To comply with XML encryption standards, you should use these two derived classes.

For more information on XML encryption standards, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to encrypt and decrypt an XML element using the EncryptedData class that derives from the EncryptedType class.
