The Certificate property specifies or retrieves a byte array that contains the certificate associated with the private key. The byte array is represented by a Unicode-encoded string.

This property is read/write.

Remarks

If the key is not open when you specify a certificate, the certificate will be set when the key is opened. For more information, see the Open method.
