Property List


The following is the full list of the properties of the class with short descriptions. Click on the links for further details.

KeyCurveThis property specifies the elliptic curve used in the ECDSA or EdDSA key.
KeyEffectiveDateThe date when this key becomes valid.
KeyEncodedThe key.
KeyExpirationDateThe date the key expires.
KeyFingerprintThe hex-encoded, 20-byte fingerprint of the key.
KeyIdThe hex-encoded, 4-byte key Id.
KeyOtherUserIdsIf the specified key has alternate user Ids associated with it, this property returns a comma-separated list of the other user Ids.
KeyPassphraseThe passphrase for the key's secret key (if any).
KeyPublicKeyThe public key of the key.
KeyPublicKeyAlgorithmA text description of the public key algorithm of the key.
KeyPublicKeyLengthThe length of the public key in bits.
KeyRevokedWhether or not the key is revoked.
KeySecretKeyThe secret key of the key (if available).
KeySecretKeyAvailableWhether or not a secret key is available for the selected key.
KeyUsageA text description of UsageFlags .
KeyUsageFlagsFlags that show the intended use for the key.
KeyUserIdThe user Id of the key.
KeyringThe location on disk of the keyring.
