Properties

Name Description
Comment

Gets or ets the key comment. The comment is used while saving in some formats.
KeyAlgorithm

Gets the key algorithm identifier.

Methods

Name Description
Encode()

Gets ASN.1 encoded form of this PrivateKeyInfo object.
Generate(KeyAlgorithm)

Generates a private key using the specified algorithm and default key size.
Generate(KeyAlgorithm, Int32)

Generates a private key using the specified algorithm and key size.
GetDSAParameters()

Gets the DSA parameters for a DSA key. May only be used for DSA private keys.
GetPublicKey()

Gets a public key corresponding to the private key.
GetRSAParameters()

Gets the RSA parameters for a RSA key. May only be used for RSA private keys.
Load(Stream, Byte[])

Loads a PKCS #8, PuTTY or SSLeay (OpenSSL/OpenSSH) format private key from a stream. Upon successful decoding, information can be retrieved using PrivateKeyInfo methods and properties.
Load(Stream, String)

Loads a PKCS #8, PuTTY or SSLeay (OpenSSL/OpenSSH) format private key from a stream. Upon successful decoding, information can be retrieved using PrivateKeyInfo methods and properties.
Load(String, String)

Loads a PKCS #8, PuTTY or SSLeay (OpenSSL/OpenSSH) format private key from a stream. Upon successful decoding, information can be retrieved using PrivateKeyInfo methods and properties.
LoadSignedOrEnvelopedData(Stream, ICertificateFinder, Boolean)

Loads a CMS/PKCS #7 signed or enveloped message from a stream. Returns an instance of SignedData for signed message, EnvelopedData for enveloped message, or null for methods and properties. Inherited from PkcsBase.
Save(Stream, Byte[], PrivateKeyFormat)

Saves the private key into the supplied stream in the specified format.
Save(Stream, String, ObjectIdentifier)

Saves the private key into the supplied stream in Base64-encoded PKCS #8 format.
Save(Stream, String, PrivateKeyFormat)

Saves the private key into the supplied stream in the specified format.
Save(String, String, PrivateKeyFormat)

Saves the private key into the supplied stream in the specified format.
ToBytes()

Gets the raw form of the private key.
