| Algorithm Class |
Represents a cryptographic algorithm used for signing and encryption operations.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: MailBee.Security
Assembly: MailBee.NET (in MailBee.NET.dll) Version: 12.4 build 677 for .NET 4.5
SyntaxThe Algorithm type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | CreateInstanceById |
Returns Algorithm object by the specified identifier.
|
| CreateInstanceByOid |
Returns Algorithm object by the specified system object identifier.
|
| Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
  | BitLength |
Gets the length of key used for message encryption in the cryptographic algorithm.
|
| Category |
Gets the category (type) of cryptographic algorithm.
|
| ID |
Gets the unique cryptographic algorithm identifier used by CryptoAPI.
|
| Name |
Gets the name of cryptographic algorithm.
|
| Oid |
Gets the unique string used by the operating system to identify this cryptographic algorithm.
|
RemarksMailBee automatically selects the appropriate algorithms accordingly Windows defaults.
Use this class only if the application logic requires using certain cryptographic algorithms. To select algorithms to be used by S/MIME functions of MailBee, set Smime.EncryptionAlgorithm or Smime.HashAlgorithm properties.
ExamplesThe example is available in EncryptionAlgorithm topic.
