BitCount property
Determines number of bits in the key.
Type
An Integer value. Syntax
object.BitCount (KeyType)
The BitCount(object,KeyType) 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, DSA or ECDSA). |
Remarks
The settings for KeyType are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| RSAkey | 0 | Uses RSA cipher to create keys. |
| DSAkey | 1 | Uses DSA cipher to create keys. |
| ECDSAkey | 2 | Uses ECDSA cipher to create keys. |
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.
