Gets the information about cryptographic algorithm used to encrypt a message.

Property Value

Object of Algorithm class representing information about the signature algorithm.

Example

This sample loads a certificate from the specified file and displays information about it.

[C#]
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespace at the top of your code
using MailBee.Security;

// The actual code (put it into a method of your class)
Certificate cert = new Certificate(@"C:\Temp\certificate.cer", CertFileType.Cer, null);

Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm name: " + cert.SignatureAlgorithm.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm OID: " + cert.SignatureAlgorithm.Oid);
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm ID: " + cert.SignatureAlgorithm.ID);
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm bit length: " + cert.SignatureAlgorithm.BitLength);

[Visual Basic]
' To use the code below, import MailBee namespace at the top of your code
Imports MailBee.Security

' The actual code (put it into a method of your class)
Dim cert As Certificate = New Certificate("C:\Temp\certificate.cer", CertFileType.Cer, Nothing)

Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm name: " & cert.SignatureAlgorithm.Name)
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm OID: " & cert.SignatureAlgorithm.Oid)
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm ID: " & cert.SignatureAlgorithm.ID.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Key algorithm bit length: " & cert.SignatureAlgorithm.BitLength.ToString())
