Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
None.
Child Elements
Element |
Description |
|---|---|
cryptoClasses |
Contains a list of cryptography classes that have a mapping to a friendly name in the <nameEntry> element. |
nameEntry |
Maps a class name to a friendly algorithm name, which allows one class to have many friendly names. |
Parent Elements
Element |
Description |
|---|---|
configuration |
The root element in every configuration file used by the common language runtime and .NET Framework applications. |
cryptographySettings |
Contains cryptography settings. |
cryptoNameMapping |
Contains mappings of classes to friendly names. |
mscorlib |
Contains the <cryptographySettings> element. |
Example
The following example shows how to use the <cryptoNameMapping> element to reference a cryptography class and to configure the runtime. You can then pass the string "RSA" to the CryptoConfig.CreateFromName method and use the Create method to return a MyCryptoRSAClass object.
<configuration>
<mscorlib>
<cryptographySettings>
<cryptoNameMapping>
<cryptoClasses>
<cryptoClass MyCryptoRSA="MyCryptoRSAClass, MyAssembly
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5d015c7d5a0b012,
Version=1.0.0.0"/>
</cryptoClasses>
<nameEntry name="RSA" class="MyCryptoRSA"/>
<nameEntry name="System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm"
class="MyCryptoRSA"/>
</cryptoNameMapping>
</cryptographySettings>
</mscorlib>
</configuration>
