Edit

Creates a public/private key pair using an algorithmic curve name.

public:
 virtual CryptographicKey ^ CreateKeyPairWithCurveName(Platform::String ^ curveName) = CreateKeyPairWithCurveName;

CryptographicKey CreateKeyPairWithCurveName(winrt::hstring const& curveName);

public CryptographicKey CreateKeyPairWithCurveName(string curveName);

function createKeyPairWithCurveName(curveName)

Public Function CreateKeyPairWithCurveName (curveName As String) As CryptographicKey

Parameters

curveName: String
Platform::String

winrt::hstring

The name of the curve.

Returns

CryptographicKey

Represents the generated Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) asymmetric key pair.

Examples

The following example creates a new ECDSA curve from CurveName.

AsymmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider eccAlgorithmProvider =
                AsymmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider.OpenAlgorithm(AsymmetricAlgorithmNames.EcdsaSha256);
CryptographicKey keyPair = eccAlgorithmProvider.CreateKeyPairWithCurveName(EccCurveNames.Secp160k1);

AsymmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider^ eccAlgorithmProvider = AsymmetricKeyAlgorithmProvider::OpenAlgorithm(
                                                                               AsymmetricAlgorithmNames::EcdsaSha256);
CryptographicKey^ keyPair = eccAlgorithmProvider->CreateKeyPairWithCurveName(EccCurveNames::Secp160k1);
