RSA Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents the base class from which all implementations of the RSA algorithm inherit.
System::Object
System.Security.Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm
System.Security.Cryptography::RSA

System.Security.Cryptography::RSACryptoServiceProvider
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The RSA type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | KeyExchangeAlgorithm | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| KeySize | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| LegalKeySizes | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| SignatureAlgorithm | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Clear | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
 | Create() | Creates an instance of the default implementation of the RSA algorithm. |
| Create(String) | Creates an instance of the specified implementation of RSA. |
| DecryptValue | When overridden in a derived class, decrypts the input data using the private key. |
| Dispose() | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
 | Dispose(Boolean) | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| EncryptValue | When overridden in a derived class, encrypts the input data using the public key. |
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ExportParameters | When overridden in a derived class, exports the RSAParameters. |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FromXmlString | Initializes an RSA object from the key information from an XML string. (Overrides AsymmetricAlgorithm::FromXmlString(String).) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ImportParameters | When overridden in a derived class, imports the specified RSAParameters. |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToXmlString | Creates and returns an XML string containing the key of the current RSA object. (Overrides AsymmetricAlgorithm::ToXmlString(Boolean).) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | KeySizeValue | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
| LegalKeySizesValue | (Inherited from AsymmetricAlgorithm.) |
Extending this class proves that you are implementing an RSA key. This is required for any developer providing a new RSA key implementation.
The only purpose of this class is as a hierarchy member for identification of the RSA algorithm.
In Windows Phone, the RSACryptoServiceProvider supports key lengths from 384 bits to 4800 bits in increments of 8 bits.
