Syntax
Remarks
The System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.RSAKeyValue class represents the <RSAKeyValue> element of an XML signature defined by the XML digital signature specification. The <RSAKeyValue> element is the subelement of the <KeyInfo> element (represented by the System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.KeyInfo class) that describes an System.Security.Cryptography.RSA public key. The <RSAKeyValue> element contains the public key that corresponds to the private key used to digitally sign a document. A recipient of the document uses the public key to validate the XML signature.
Use the System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.RSAKeyValue class whenever you want to add a public key to your XML digital signature.
If a key is not explicitly supplied to the constructor, a new System.Security.Cryptography.RSA key pair is randomly generated.
For more information about the <RSAKeyValue> element, see the W3C specification at www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/.
