When overridden in a derived class, gets the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

public:
 abstract System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ GetAsymmetricAlgorithm(System::String ^ algorithm, bool privateKey);

public abstract System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (string algorithm, bool privateKey);

abstract member GetAsymmetricAlgorithm : string * bool -> System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm

Public MustOverride Function GetAsymmetricAlgorithm (algorithm As String, privateKey As Boolean) As AsymmetricAlgorithm

Parameters

algorithm: String

The asymmetric algorithm to create.

privateKey: Boolean

true when a private key is required to create the algorithm; otherwise, false.

Returns

AsymmetricAlgorithm

An AsymmetricAlgorithm that represents the specified asymmetric cryptographic algorithm.

Typically, true is passed into the privateKey parameter, as a private key is typically required for decryption.

Remarks

Use the static fields of the SecurityAlgorithms class to specify the algorithm.
