interface Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ICryptoProvider
Assembly: Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens
Provides extensibility for cryptographic operators. If custom operators are needed, <see cref="P:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.CryptoProviderFactory.CustomCryptoProvider" /> can be set to return these operators. This property will be checked before each creation.
Methods
bool
IsSupportedAlgorithm(string algorithm,
object[] args)
Determines if a cryptographic operation is supported.
Returns <see langword="true" /> if the algorithm is supported; otherwise, <see langword="false" /> .
algorithm
The algorithm that defines the cryptographic operator.
args
The arguments required by the cryptographic operator. May be null.
object
Create(string algorithm,
object[] args)
Returns a cryptographic operator that supports the specified algorithm.
Returns An object representing the cryptographic operator.
algorithm
The algorithm that defines the cryptographic operator.
args
The arguments required by the cryptographic operator. May be null.
Remarks
Call <see cref="M:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ICryptoProvider.Release(System.Object)" /> when finished with the object.
void
Release(object cryptoInstance)
Releases the object returned from <see cref="M:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ICryptoProvider.Create(System.String,System.Object[])" /> .
cryptoInstance
The object returned from <see cref="M:Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.ICryptoProvider.Create(System.String,System.Object[])" /> .
