Gets a value that indicates whether the specified algorithm uses asymmetric keys.
public:
override bool IsAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm);
public override bool IsAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm);
override this.IsAsymmetricAlgorithm : string -> bool
Public Overrides Function IsAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String) As Boolean
Parameters
- algorithm
- String
The cryptographic algorithm.
Returns
true
when the specified algorithm is DsaSha1Signature, RsaSha1Signature, RsaSha256Signature, RsaOaepKeyWrap, or RsaV15KeyWrap; otherwise, false
.
Remarks
Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends a security model based on SHA256 or better.
