KeyPublicKeyLength Property

The length of the public key in bits.

Syntax

 keymgr.getKeyPublicKeyLength([callback])

Default Value

0

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 getKeyPublicKeyLength([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 setKeyPublicKeyLength([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

The length of the public key in bits. Common values are 512, 1024, and 2048.

If the KeyPublicKeyAlgorithm property is ECDSA or EcDSA the length of the public key is determined by the KeyCurve. Possible lenghts are:

CurvePublic Key Length (bits)
secp256r1256
secp384r1384
secp521r1521
Ed25519 256
secp256k1256

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

Data Type

Integer
