KeyPublicKeyAlgorithm Property

A text description of the public key algorithm of the key.

Syntax

 keymgr.getKeyPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getKeyPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setKeyPublicKeyAlgorithm([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

A text description of the public key algorithm of the key. Possible values are:

• RSA
• DSA
• ECDSA
• EdDSA
• RSA-Legacy

This property is read-only and not available at design time.
