RSAOAEPKeyExchangeFormatter.SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.dll

Source:

RSAOAEPKeyExchangeFormatter.cs

Sets the public key to use for encrypting the key exchange data.

public:
 override void SetKey(System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ key);

public override void SetKey (System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm key);

override this.SetKey : System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm -> unit

Public Overrides Sub SetKey (key As AsymmetricAlgorithm)

Parameters

key

AsymmetricAlgorithm

The instance of the RSA algorithm that holds the public key.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

key is null.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the SetKey method to set an RSA key for decryption. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the RSAOAEPKeyExchangeFormatter class.

RSA^ key = RSA::Create();
rsaFormatter->SetKey( key );

RSA key = RSA.Create();
rsaFormatter.SetKey(key);

Dim key As RSA = RSA.Create()
rsaFormatter.SetKey(key)

Remarks

You must set the key before calling CreateKeyExchange.
