Hi Bill,
There's currently no implementation of Diffie-Hellman key exchange in
the .NET Framework cryptography classes; you would need to call
CryptoAPI to do a D-H exchange. DSS is supported, but of course that
algorithm only provides signature services. Once you've done your D-H
key exchange to establish a shared secret, you can use that as your
session key with Rijndael, 3DES, or any of the other symmetric ciphers
using the System.Security.Cryptography classes.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [DOTNET] Cryptography Namespace and Diffie-Hellman/DSS
Does anyone know if you can encrypt a file using a Diffie-Hellman/DSS
public
key with the .NET cryptography namespace or do you have to use
CryptoAPI?
Thanks for any info.
Bill
