RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter Class

Updated: November 2007

Creates the PKCS#1 key exchange data using RSA.

Key exchange allows a sender to create secret information (such as random data that can be used as a key in a symmetric encryption algorithm) and use encryption to send it to the intended recipient.

Use RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeDeformatter to receive the key exchange and extract the secret information from it.

Caution:

It is highly recommended that you not attempt to create your own key exchange method from the basic functionality provided, because many details of the operation must be performed carefully in order for the key exchange to be successful.

The following code example demonstrates how to use members of the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class.
