Gets a SafeEvpPKeyHandle representation of the cryptographic key.

public System.Security.Cryptography.SafeEvpPKeyHandle DuplicateKeyHandle();member this.DuplicateKeyHandle : unit -> System.Security.Cryptography.SafeEvpPKeyHandlePublic Function DuplicateKeyHandle () As SafeEvpPKeyHandleA SafeEvpPKeyHandle representation of the cryptographic key.
Each call to this method produces a new SafeEvpPKeyHandle object with its own lifetime. The objects returned by this method can safely be used even after this RSAOpenSsl instance has been disposed. However, modifying operations (that is, direct calls to modifying OpenSSL APIs) on the new handle operate on the same underlying object. The new instance this method returns is simply an additional reference.
