The X509IssuerSerial structure represents the <X509IssuerSerial> element of an XML digital signature defined by the XML digital signature specification. The <X509IssuerSerial> element is the subelement of the <X509Data> element that contains an X.509v3 certificate issuer's distinguished name and serial number pair. The distinguished name and serial number pair help identify a specific X.509v3 certificate.
The issuer of an X.509 certificate is the name of the certification authority that issued the certificate. Certification authorities assign each certificate they issue a unique serial number for identification purposes.
Use the X509IssuerSerial structure to specify a certificate issuer's distinguished name and serial number pair when using the KeyInfoX509Data class. You can add an X509IssuerSerial structure to the KeyInfoX509Data class using the IssuerSerials property. Alternatively, you can add string values that represent the X.509 certificate issuer's distinguished name and serial number pair using the AddIssuerSerial method.
For more information about the <X509IssuerSerial> element, see the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification at www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/.
The following code example demonstrates how to sign and verify an XML document using an X.509 certificate from a certificate store. This example saves key information to the signed document using the X509IssuerSerial object.
