MessageSigner Class

Represents the utility which can be used to sign arbitrary data or verify existing signatures by using asymmetric encryption.

Definition

Namespace: SysadminsLV.PKI.Tools.MessageOperations
Assembly: SysadminsLV.PKI.Win (in SysadminsLV.PKI.Win.dll) Version: 4.0.1.0 (4.0.1.0)
C#
public class MessageSigner : ICryptSigner, 
	IDisposable
Inheritance
Object    MessageSigner
Implements
ICryptSigner, IDisposable

Remarks

This class implements IDisposable interface. It is recommended to wrap this class in using statement to automatically release unmanaged resources during signing procedure.

Constructors

MessageSigner(X509Certificate2) Initializes a new instance of the MessageSigner class from signer certificate and default hash algorithm. Default hash algorithm is SHA256.
MessageSigner(X509Certificate2, Oid2) Initializes a new instance of the MessageSigner class from signer certificate and client-provided hash algorithm.

Properties

HashingAlgorithm Gets or sets the hashing algorithm that is used to calculate the hash during signing or signature verification processes.
PaddingScheme Gets or sets signature padding scheme for RSA signature creation and validation. Default is PKCS1.
PssSaltByteCount Gets or sets the size, in bytes, of the random salt to use for the PSS padding. Default value matches the hash output length: 16 bytes for MD5, 20 bytes for SHA1, 32 bytes for SHA256, 48 bytes for SHA384 and 64 bytes for SHA512 hashing algorithm.
PublicKeyAlgorithm Gets public key algorithm.
SignatureAlgorithm Gets resulting signature algorithm identifier.
SignerCertificate Gets the certificate associated with the current instance of MessageSigner.
