Public key encryption with RSACryptoServiceProvider

Question

I have been over an article at CodeProject a for a while that explains how to encrypt and decrypt using the RSA provider:

RSA Private Key Encryption

While th

Answer 1

Take this encode/decode example

        byte[] toEncryptData = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("hello world");

        //Generate keys
        RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaGenKeys = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        string privateXml = rsaGenKeys.ToXmlString(true);
        string publicXml = rsaGenKeys.ToXmlString(false);

        //Encode with public key
        RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaPublic = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        rsaPublic.FromXmlString(publicXml);
        byte[] encryptedRSA = rsaPublic.Encrypt(toEncryptData, false);
        string EncryptedResult = Encoding.Default.GetString(encryptedRSA);


        //Decode with private key
        var rsaPrivate = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        rsaPrivate.FromXmlString(privateXml);
        byte[] decryptedRSA = rsaPrivate.Decrypt(encryptedRSA, false);
        string originalResult = Encoding.Default.GetString(decryptedRSA);
