Greetings all, I'm trying to create a .net program that can decrypt files that will be rsa-encrypted with the gpg program (on mac os X, if that's important).
I've got hold of a copy of gpg, generated a key pair & sent my public key to my correspondent. I thought I would try to use System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider to decrypt the incoming files. The problem I'm having is in translating my private key, which gpg spits out as encoded text, like so (this is a portion of my public key, but the private key looks much the same): -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) - WinPT 0.7.96rc1 mQGiBEC06YQRBACNnZ5FZorejPPpR9j8V3YmPO8Plxq6p0Qpx/2SXG7YOfmoQFIV gWaFQjnk/Su3+isoTa7gevezP0arR4tXUThZhyNlzZ4UKPya+tGUcy49LRBd3YUS Wl8G+rJBSN5JJc4mbwBkUh0pq0QVsrqQ4DMO6VwfAuYqZDw72LouEUy7FwCg/ADm -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- into something I can feed into the various parameters of the RSAParameters object (which is where I gather that should go--is that right?). Can anybody advise me on how to do this? Is my ultimate goal possible?
