EccWriteKey Method

Write an internal EC key to an output string.

Namespace: CryptoSysPKI
Assembly: diCrSysPKINet (in diCrSysPKINet.dll) Version: 23.2.0.37107 (23.2.0.0)

Syntax

public static string WriteKey(
	string internalKey,
	EccKeyType keyType = EccKeyType.Default
)

Public Shared Function WriteKey ( 
	internalKey As String,
	Optional keyType As EccKeyType = EccKeyType.Default
) As String

Parameters

internalKey String: The private or public EC key in an internal key string
keyType EccKeyType (Optional): Key structure options

Return Value

String
String containing the key in textual PEM format or the empty string if error.

Remarks

This works the same as Ecc.SaveKey except it outputs to a PEM string instead of a file. Use this unencrypted PEM string as input for any ECC, signature, X.509 or ASN.1 function expecting a public or private ECC key. Exercise caution due to the lack of encryption and prefer the internal key string format for private keys to ensure better security.
