IsSupportedAlgorithm(String)
Determines whether the specified hash algorithm is supported.
public virtual bool IsSupportedAlgorithm (string algorithm);abstract member IsSupportedAlgorithm : string -> bool
override this.IsSupportedAlgorithm : string -> boolPublic Overridable Function IsSupportedAlgorithm (algorithm As String) As BooleanParameters
- algorithm
- String
The name of the hash algorithm.
Returns
true if:
- CustomCryptoProvider is set and IsSupportedAlgorithm(String, Object[]) returns true,
- The algorithm is supported.
false.
Remarks
Considers only known hash algorithms.
Applies to
IsSupportedAlgorithm(String, SecurityKey)
Checks if the specified algorithm and SecurityKey are supported.
public virtual bool IsSupportedAlgorithm (string algorithm, Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityKey key);abstract member IsSupportedAlgorithm : string * Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityKey -> bool
override this.IsSupportedAlgorithm : string * Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SecurityKey -> boolPublic Overridable Function IsSupportedAlgorithm (algorithm As String, key As SecurityKey) As BooleanParameters
- algorithm
- String
The security algorithm to be used.
- key
- SecurityKey
The SecurityKey.
Returns
true if:
- CustomCryptoProvider is set and IsSupportedAlgorithm(String, Object[]) returns true,
- The algorithm / key pair is supported.
false.
Remarks
Algorithms are supported for specific key types. For example:
- RsaSha256 and RsaSecurityKey will return true.
- RsaSha256 and SymmetricSecurityKey will return false.
