can_encrypt	Returns true if the crypto object can be used for encryption.
can_sign	Returns true if the crypto object is capable of data signing.
hash_algorithm	The hash algorithm to be used during the crypto operation.
input_encoding	The encoding to apply to the input data.
input_is_hash	Indicates whether the input data contains the hash or the actual data.
json_key_header_params	Contains key header parameters.
json_protected_header	Provides access to the header being protected.
json_unprotected_header	Provides access to the unprotected part of the header.
json_unprotected_header_params	Contains unprotected header parameters.
key_algorithm	The algorithm of the cryptographic key.
key_bits	The length of the key in bits.
key_exportable	Returns True if the key is exportable (can be serialized into an array of bytes), and False otherwise.
key_handle	Allows to get or set a 'handle', a unique identifier of the underlying property object.
key_id	Provides access to a storage-specific key identifier.
key_iv	The initialization vector (IV) of a symmetric key.
key_key	The byte array representation of the key.
key_nonce	A nonce value associated with a key.
key_private	Returns True if the object hosts a private key, and False otherwise.
key_public	Returns True if the object hosts a public key, and False otherwise.
key_subject	Returns the key subject.
key_symmetric	Returns True if the object contains a symmetric key, and False otherwise.
key_valid	Returns True if this key is valid.
output_encoding	The encoding type to apply to the output data.
scheme	The algorithm scheme to use.
scheme_params	The algorithm scheme parameters to employ.
signature_validation_result	The signature validation result.
