Key BLOB
Key BLOB is a BLOB containing an encrypted private key. Key BLOBs provide a way to store keys outside the CSP. Key BLOBs are created by exporting an existing key from the CSP by calling the CryptExportKey function. Later, the key BLOB can be imported into a provider (often a different CSP on a different computer) by calling the CryptImportKey function. This creates a key in the CSP that is a duplicate of the one that was exported.
