Hi Shankar,

Thanks for your post.

The format of this BLOB varies depending on the BLOB type requested in the
dwBlobType parameter. For the format for PRIVATEKEYBLOBs, PUBLICKEYBLOBs,
and SIMPLEBLOBs, it is documented in the "Base Provider Key BLOBs" link
below:
"Base Provider Key BLOBs"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/seccrypto/s
ecurity/base_provider_key_blobs.asp

Hope this helps

Best regards,
