PublicKeyBlob Structure

Represents, in binary format, the public key of a public/private key pair.

Syntax

typedef struct {  
    unsigned int SigAlgId;  
    unsigned int HashAlgId;  
    ULONG cbPublicKey;  
    BYTE PublicKey[1]  
} PublicKeyBlob;

Member	Description
`SigAlgId`	The identifier for the signature algorithm (of type `ALG_ID`, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
`HashAlgId`	The identifier for the hash algorithm (of type `ALG_ID`, as defined in WinCrypt.h) of the public key.
`cbPublicKey`	The length of the key in bytes.
`PublicKey`	A variable-length byte array that contains the key value in the format returned by the CryptoAPI.

The PublicKeyBlob structure is used by StrongNameGetPublicKey, StrongNameSignatureGeneration, and other strong name functions to represent the public key of a public/private key pair.
