When overridden in a derived class, gets a value that indicates whether the token has an asymmetric key.

 abstract property bool HasAsymmetricKey { bool get(); };
protected internal abstract bool HasAsymmetricKey { get; }
member this.HasAsymmetricKey : bool
Protected Friend MustOverride ReadOnly Property HasAsymmetricKey As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the token has an asymmetric key; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Asymmetric keys are used in public-key cryptography, which uses two keys, a public key and a private key, which are related mathematically. The public key is distributed widely, but the private key is kept secret. In public-key cryptography, there is no need to exchange a common key.
