    unsigned int SigAlgId;
    unsigned int HashAlgId;
    ULONG cbPublicKey;
    BYTE PublicKey[1]
} PublicKeyBlob;

Description

SigAlgId

The identifier for the signature algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.

HashAlgId

The identifier for the hash algorithm (of type ALG_ID, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.

cbPublicKey

The length of the key in bytes.

PublicKey

A variable-length byte array that contains the key value in the format returned by the CryptoAPI.

Remarks

The PublicKeyBlob structure is used by StrongNameGetPublicKey, StrongNameSignatureGeneration, and other strong name functions to represent the public key of a public/private key pair.
