This public key can be used to delay-sign an assembly using the /delaysign+ and /keyfile options of the Assembly Linker (Al.exe). If the infile contains a key pair with a private key, the private key is also extracted.Įxtracts the public key from the key pair in infile and stores it in outfile, optionally using the RSA algorithm specified by hashalg. Note: This option does not verify that the input is only a public key. If you do not specify an outfile, this option places the output on the Clipboard. This format is useful for hard-coding references to keys as initialized arrays in source code. A comma separates each byte of the public key. If neither y nor n is specified, this option displays the current setting.Įxtracts the public key from the infile and stores it in a. If you specify n, key containers are user-specific. If you specify y, key containers are computer-specific. Specifies whether key containers are computer-specific, or user-specific. It supports key lengths from 384 bits to 512 bits in increments of 8 bits if you have the Microsoft base cryptographic provider installed. The keysize parameter supports key lengths from 384 bits to 16,384 bits in increments of 8 bits if you have the Microsoft enhanced cryptographic provider installed. If you do not specify a key size, a 1,024-bit key is generated by default if you have the Microsoft enhanced cryptographic provider installed otherwise, a 512-bit key is generated. Both a public and private key are written to the file.

Generates a new RSACryptoServiceProvider key of the specified size and writes it to the specified file. The key container resides in the strong name CSP. Installs the key pair from infile in the specified key container. This is often used as a check after an assembly has been re-signed with a different key pair.Įxtracts the public key from assembly and stores it in outfile.ĭisplays command syntax and options for the tool. Verifies that two assemblies differ only by signature. If you do not specify a CSP name, Sn.exe clears the current setting.ĭeletes the specified key container from the strong name CSP. This setting applies to the entire computer. Sets the default cryptographic service provider (CSP) to use for strong name signing. Generates AssemblySignatureKeyAttribute data to migrate the identity key to the signature key from a key container. ac identityPublicKeyFile identityKeyPairContainer signaturePublicKeyFile Generates AssemblySignatureKeyAttribute data to migrate the identity key to the signature key from a file.
