Creating a Key

CADP for .NET Core supports creation of the following keys:

• AES

• DESede

• HMAC

• RSA

• EC

For example, let's create a 128-bit AES key:

1. Create a new key object of NaeRijndaelKey.

   
   NaeRijndaelKey rijndaelKey = new NaeRijndaelKey(session);
   

2. Set the key size to 128-bit.

   
   rijndaelKey.KeySize = 128;
   

3. Set the key properties to make the key deletable and exportable.

   
   rijndaelKey.IsDeletable = true;
   rijndaelKey.IsExportable = true;
   

4. Generate the key using GenerateKey() function and specify the key name.

   
   rijndaelKey.GenerateKey(keyName);
   

   It creates a key on the CipherTrust Manager server with the specified key name.

Similarly, you can create DESede, RSA, HMAC, EC, and AES/GCM keys using NaeTripleDesKey, NaeRsaKey, NaeHmacKey,NaeECIESKey, and NaeAesGcm classes respectively.

To create a versioned key, append the key name with #. For Example, GenerateKey("keyName#");
