Description
-
Determines number of bits in the key.
Property type
-
An Integer value.
Syntax
-
object.BitCount(KeyType)
The BitCount Property syntax has these parts:
| object |
An expression
evaluating to an object of type SSHKeyPair. |
| KeyType |
Required. A SSHKeyTypes
enumeration, as described in settings. Type of the key
(RSA or DSA). |
Settings
-
The settings for KeyType are:
 |
RSAkey |
0 |
Uses RSA cipher to create
keys. |
 |
DSAkey |
1 |
Uses DSA cipher to create
keys. |
Remarks
-
This property will return number of bits in specified
private key. Number of bits for each key is specified in
Generate
method when key is created. Most common value is 1024, but
for stronger encryption sometimes this value can be
larger.
