CertificateRequestProperties.KeyAlgorithmName Property

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Security.Cryptography.Certificates

Gets or sets the public key algorithm.

public:
 property Platform::String ^ KeyAlgorithmName { Platform::String ^ get(); void set(Platform::String ^ value); };

winrt::hstring KeyAlgorithmName();

void KeyAlgorithmName(winrt::hstring value);

public string KeyAlgorithmName { get; set; }

var string = certificateRequestProperties.keyAlgorithmName;
certificateRequestProperties.keyAlgorithmName = string;

Public Property KeyAlgorithmName As String

Property Value

String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

Algorithm name.

Examples

public String GetSetPublicKeyAlgorithm(String strAlgNameIn)
{
    // Create a new CertificateRequestProperties object.
    CertificateRequestProperties reqProperties = new CertificateRequestProperties();

    // The default value is RSA.
    String strDefaultAlgName = reqProperties.KeyAlgorithmName;

    // If the input option does not equal the default option, reset the property value.
    if (strAlgNameIn != strDefaultAlgName)
    {
        reqProperties.KeyAlgorithmName = strAlgNameIn;
    }

    // Return the algorithm name.
    return reqProperties.KeyAlgorithmName;
}

Remarks

The default value is "RSA". You can use properties on the KeyAlgorithmNames class to specify error-free names or to compare the name retrieved by this property with a known string.
