BitCount property
Determines number of bits in the key.
Type
An Integer valueSyntax
object.BitCount(KeyType)
The BitCount(object,KeyType) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type Keys. |
| KeyType | Required. A SSHKeyTypes enumeration, as described in settings. Type of the key. |
Remarks
The settings for
KeyType are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| RSAkey | 0 | Sets/returns bitcount for RSA key. |
| DSAkey | 1 | Sets/returns bitcount for DSA key. |
| ECDSAkey | 2 | Sets/returns bitcount for ECDSA key. |
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.
For ECDSA key supported values are 256, 384 and 521.
