Properties

	Name	Description
	AlternateSignatureFormat	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether PKCS#1 v2.1 is used.
	Extensions	Gets a collection of user-supplied extensions to include in certificate.
	FriendlyName	Gets or sets a friend name for certificate.
	HashingAlgorithm	Gets or sets hashing algorithm used to sign the certificate. Default value is SHA256.
	NotAfter	Gets or sets the date in local time after which a certificate is no longer valid. This value cannot be earlier than NotBefore value. If external signer is used, this value cannot exceed NotAfter value of the signer certificate.
	NotBefore	Gets or sets the date in local time on which a certificate becomes valid. Default value is current date and time. If external signer is used, this value cannot be less than NotBefore value of the signer certificate.
	PrivateKeyInfo	Gets an asymmetric key pair generator. Use this property to configure asymmetric key generation options.
	SerialNumber	Gets or sets a serial number. Input string must consist of hex characters only.
	SubjectName	Gets or sets subject of the certificate. If this is self-signed certificate, subject will be copied to issuer field.
	Version	Gets the version of X.509 certificate. This class creates only version 3 certificates.

	Build	Creates, signs and encodes certificate object.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

Although, the certificate is created in-memory, private key material still persists in CSP/KSP. When the certificate is no longer necessary, call X509Certificate2.DeletePrivateKey extension method.
