CryptoConfig.DefaultMode Property

Gets or sets the global crypto mode.

namespace WvdS.System.Security.Cryptography
 
public static CryptoMode DefaultMode { get; set; }

This property determines the default behavior of all extension methods when no explicit CryptoMode is passed.

// At application startup
CryptoConfig.DefaultMode = CryptoMode.Hybrid;
 
// All subsequent operations use Hybrid
var cert = request.CreateSelfSigned(notBefore, notAfter);
// cert.HasPqSignature() == true

CryptoConfig.DefaultMode = CryptoMode.Classic;
 
// This operation uses PostQuantum anyway
var pqCert = request.CreateSelfSigned(
    notBefore,
    notAfter,
    CryptoMode.PostQuantum);

This property is thread-safe. Changes are immediately visible to all threads.
