Remarks
PrivateKey property is used if you don't want to call internal
Load and
Save methods to preserve key data between sessions. Once you
Generate new key, you can retrieve it's raw data using this property, and store it somewhere depending what your needs are. Obtaining private key data this way does not encrypt it in any way - you should do it by yourself when you store the key.
In later sessions, you can easily load your key internally, and put it in PrivateKey property and wodKeys.NET will immediately be able to use it.
KeyType must be specified to determine what key is stored/retrieved.
Note that setting PrivateKey with unexpected data may result in wodKeys.NET rejecting your key. It is advised to set PrivateKey only with data you have previously retrieved from the same property (in previous session).
