Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo.Decode(ReadOnlyMemory<Byte>, Int32, Boolean) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.dll

Source:

Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo.cs

Reads the provided data as a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo and returns an object view of the contents.

public static System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo Decode (ReadOnlyMemory<byte> source, out int bytesRead, bool skipCopy = false);

static member Decode : ReadOnlyMemory<byte> * int * bool -> System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs.Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo

Public Shared Function Decode (source As ReadOnlyMemory(Of Byte), ByRef bytesRead As Integer, Optional skipCopy As Boolean = false) As Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo

Parameters

source

ReadOnlyMemory<Byte>

The data to interpret as a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo value.

bytesRead

Int32

When this method returns, contains a value that indicates the number of bytes read from source. This parameter is treated as uninitialized.

skipCopy

Boolean

true to store source without making a defensive copy; otherwise, false. The default is false.

Returns

Pkcs8PrivateKeyInfo

An object view of the contents decoded as a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo.

Exceptions

CryptographicException

The contents of the source parameter were not successfully decoded as a PKCS#8 PrivateKeyInfo.

Remarks

The default behavior of this method is to make a defensive copy of the first bytesConsumed bytes from source. When the skipCopy parameter is true, this defensive copy is skipped. If the defensive copy is skipped and the contents of the first bytesConsumed bytes of source change during the lifetime of the returned value or of any object produced by its methods or properties, then methods and properties on those objects may produce nonsense results or throw exceptions due to the corrupted state. Callers are therefore advised to only use a true value for the skipCopy parameter when they can be reasonably assured that the data will stay intact.
