DSACryptoServiceProvider

Implements:

Public:

Properties:

Name	Description
CspKeyContainerInfo (get)	Returns a CspKeyContainerInfo object containing information about this DSACryptoServiceProvider instance.
KeyExchangeAlgorithm (get)	Returns the name of the key exchange algorithm this instance represents.
KeySize (get)	Returns the DSA key size in bits.
KeySize (let)	Sets the key size.
LegalKeySizes (get)	Returns an array of KeySizes objects defining the valid key sizes.
PersistKeyInCsp (get)	Returns if the current key will be stored in the current provider container.
PersistKeyInCsp (let)	Sets if the current key will be stored in the current provider container.
PublicOnly (get)	Returns if the key for this DSA instance is only the public half of the key pair.
SignatureAlgorithm (get)	Returns the signature algorithm.

Methods:

Name	Description
Clear	Releases any resources and disposes the DSA instance.
CreateSignature	Creates a new signature for the hash value.
Equals	Returns a boolean indicating if the value and this object instance are the same instance.
ExportCspBlob	Exports the key information as a CryptoAPI PRIVATEKEYBLOB or PUBLICKEYBLOB structure.
ExportParameters	Exports the DSA key parameters.
FromXmlString	Imports a DSA key in the form of an XML string.
GetHashCode	Returns a psuedo-unique number used to help identify this object in memory. The current method is to return the value obtained from ObjPtr. If a different method needs to be impelmented then change the method here in this function. An override might be necessary if the hashcode should be derived from a value contained within the class.
ImportCspBlob	Imports a CryptoAPI PRIVATEKEYBLOB or PUBLICKEYBLOB into the DSA provider.
ImportParameters	Imports the DSA key parameters.
SignData	Creates a signature for a Stream object or Byte array.
SignHash	Creates a signature for a hash value.
ToString	Returns a string representation of this object instance. The default method simply returns the application name and class name in which this class resides. A Person class may return the persons name instead.
ToXmlString	Exports the DSA key as an XML string.
VerifyData	Verifies the signature for the specified data.
VerifyHash	Verifies the signature for the specified hash value.
VerifySignature	Verifies the signature for the hash value.

Remarks

This class is used to create signatures for data and hashes and provide verification of those signatures generated.
