<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder what happens if the fetched algorithm does not support algorithm parameters. For example, let’s say we have provider “A” which supports RSA up to 2048 bit. Now we load provider “A” and default provider (or fips provider) and use
querystring “?provider=a” to give priority to provider “A”. Now if we try to create an RSA keypair or do a signature up to 2048-bit, provider “A” will be used, and everything works just fine. But what happens if we try to use RSA 4096? Provider “A” does not
support importing or generating this bit size and corresponding methods fails. Now will loading or generating falls back on default or fips provider which is already loaded in the context?<o:p></o:p></p>
