DSACryptoServiceProvider.KeySize Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.dll

Source:

DSACryptoServiceProvider.Unix.cs

Gets the size of the key used by the asymmetric algorithm in bits.

public:
 virtual property int KeySize { int get(); };

public override int KeySize { get; }

member this.KeySize : int

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property KeySize As Integer

Property Value

Int32

The size of the key used by the asymmetric algorithm.

Remarks

This algorithm supports key lengths from 512 bits to 1024 bits in increments of 64 bits.

The DSACryptoServiceProvider class does not allow you to change key sizes using the KeySize property. Any value written to this property will fail to update the property without error. To change the key size, use one of the constructor overloads.
