KeyReference Class
Represents the <KeyReference> element used in XML encryption. This class cannot be inherited.
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml::EncryptedReference
System.Security.Cryptography.Xml::KeyReference
Assembly: System.Security (in System.Security.dll)
The KeyReference type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | KeyReference() | Initializes a new instance of the KeyReference class for XML encryption. |
![]() | KeyReference(String) | Initializes a new instance of the KeyReference class for XML encryption using the supplied Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). |
![]() | KeyReference(String, TransformChain) | Initializes a new instance of the KeyReference class for XML encryption using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and a TransformChain object. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CacheValid | Gets a value that indicates whether the cache is valid. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | ReferenceType | Gets or sets a reference type. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | TransformChain | Gets or sets the transform chain of an EncryptedReference object. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | Uri | Gets or sets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of an EncryptedReference object. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AddTransform | Adds a Transform object to the current transform chain of an EncryptedReference object. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | 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 a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetXml | Returns the XML representation of an EncryptedReference object. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | LoadXml | Loads an XML element into an EncryptedReference object. (Inherited from EncryptedReference.) |
![]() | 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 KeyReference class represents the <KeyReference> element that contains information about the location of an encrypted key.
Use the <KeyReference> element to refer to <EncryptedKey> elements that were encrypted using the key defined in the enclosing <EncryptedKey> element. You can use multiple <KeyReference> elements when multiple <EncryptedKey> elements exist that are encrypted using the same key.
You can include additional information such as XPath transforms, decompression transforms, or information about how to retrieve the elements from a document storage facility to aid the decrypting application.

The HostProtectionAttribute attribute applied to this type or member has the following Resources property value: MayLeakOnAbort. The HostProtectionAttribute does not affect desktop applications (which are typically started by double-clicking an icon, typing a command, or entering a URL in a browser). For more information, see the HostProtectionAttribute class or SQL Server Programming and Host Protection Attributes. |
