   try
  //try to get the key pair
  Key := TJwCryptKey.GetUserKey(CSP, KeyType)
except
  on E: EJwsclKeyApiException do
    if E.LastError = NTE_NO_KEY then
      //No key pair existed: We create one and put in the
      //container.
      Key := TJwCryptKey.GenerateContainerKey(CSP, KeyType, [], 0)
    else
      raise;
end;
