Using Base64 encoded Public Key to verify RSA signature

Question

In a nutshell, this is my problem:

private string publicKeyString = \"MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDVGUzbydMZS+fnkGTsUkDKEyFOGwghR234d5GjPnMIC0RFtXt         


        

Answer 1

Your string is the base64 encoding of a SubjectPublicKeyInfo. You can use Bouncycastle.net to decode it like this:

byte[] publicKeyBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(publicKeyString);
AsymmetricKeyParameter asymmetricKeyParameter = PublicKeyFactory.CreateKey(publicKeyBytes);
RsaKeyParameters rsaKeyParameters = (RsaKeyParameters) asymmetricKeyParameter;
RSAParameters rsaParameters = new RSAParameters();
rsaParameters.Modulus = rsaKeyParameters.Modulus.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
rsaParameters.Exponent = rsaKeyParameters.Exponent.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
rsa.ImportParameters(rsaParameters);
