AsymmetricAlgorithmExtensionsAsAsymmetricCipherKeyPair Method

Convert an AsymmetricAlgorithm into a BouncyCastle AsymmetricCipherKeyPair.

Namespace: MimeKit.Cryptography
Assembly: MimeKit (in MimeKit.dll) Version: 4.7.1

Syntax

public static AsymmetricCipherKeyPair AsAsymmetricCipherKeyPair(
	this AsymmetricAlgorithm key
)

AsymmetricCipherKeyPair
The Bouncy Castle AsymmetricCipherKeyPair.

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type AsymmetricAlgorithm. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	key is null.
ArgumentException	key is a public key.
NotSupportedException	key is an unsupported asymmetric algorithm.

Remarks

Converts an AsymmetricAlgorithm into a BouncyCastle AsymmetricCipherKeyPair.

Note
Currently, only RSA and DSA keys are supported.
