Remarks

Currently, AES-128 ("2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.2"), AES-192 ("2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.22"), AES-256 ("2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.42"), 3DES ("1.2.840.113549.3.7"), DES ("1.3.14.3.2.7"), and RC2 ("1.2.840.113549.3.2") algorithms are supported and SHA-1 is used. For AES-256 with SHA-256, use Save(Stream, String, PrivateKeyFormat) method.
