The BLOBHEADER Structure
The BLOBHEADER structure is located at the front of every key blob. This isn't limited to
the key blobs generated by the PROV_RSA_BASE and PROV_RSA_SIG provider types; any
additional key blob types that get defined should also specify that each key
blob start with this structure.
This structure contains fields that indicate the key blob type and the
algorithm that the key uses.
typedef struct _BLOBHEADER {
BYTE bType;
BYTE bVersion;
WORD Reserved;
ALG_ID aiKeyAlg;
} BLOBHEADER;
The following table describes each of the fields in the BLOBHEADER structure.
Field
| Description
| bType
| Key blob type. The only blob types currently defined are the PUBLICKEYBLOB,
PRIVATEKEYBLOB, and SIMPLEBLOB blob types. Other key blob types will be defined
as needed.
PUBLICKEYBLOBs are used to transport RSA public keys, PRIVATEKEYBLOBs are used
to transport RSA public/private key pairs, and SIMPLEBLOBs are used to
transport session keys.
| bVersion
| Version number of the key blob format. This currently must always have a value
of "0x02".
| Reserved
| These 2 bytes are reserved for future use, and should be zero.
| aiKeyAlg
| Algorithm identifier for the key contained by the key blob. Some examples are
CALG_RSA_SIGN, CALG_RSA_KEYX, CALG_RC2, and CALG_RC4.
Not all algorithm identifiers are valid with all blob types. For example, you
would never export an RC4 key into a PUBLICKEYBLOB.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
