Well no. Either you know the EncryptionMethod for the EncryptedKey implicitly or else it is provided by the EncryptionMethod element within the EncryptedKey element. EncryptionMethod information for an EncryptedData isn't relevant. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph M.

If you have an odd EncryptedKey laying about, you process it, get the raw data and are not sure what EncryptedData it applies to, you won't know what type it is.
