RSA Encrypt/Decrypt with OAEP.

Hi All,
I am trying to do encryption/decryption with RSA.

For encryption, I use the public key. For decryption, I use the private
key. The idea is to take a 80 byte array and encrypt it and then
decrypt that result to get the original 80 byte array. However, when I
do the decryption I am getting a "Error occurred while decoding OAEP
padding." CryptoGraphicEx ception.
byte[] RSAResult = RSA.Encrypt(dat aToDecrypt,true );

encryptedData = rsaCSP.Decrypt( dataToEncrypt, true);
I have tried using false for the OAEP parameter (all combinations) but
that only gets bad key or bad data exceptions. I looked on google and I
didn't find too much on this topic except an article suggesting having
the same size buffer which I did keep the same size.
The wierd thing is that I am doing the exact same piece of code at the
beginning of my program and it works. This code is called again in the
middle of my app and it fails. Too wierd.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks guys.

Sushant,
You should not cross-post your questions. And you should never cross-post
your question in so many groups!

From the description you gave, I'm quite confident that its just a bug in
your own code. However I'll refrain from further conversation on that
subject as long as it will be cross-posted.

Hehe. Sorry. Its my first massive cross post. How do I undo?

Nov 17 '05 #3
Damn. I see why you said cross posting is bad. All posts to this one
thread are going to all the threads and its becoming big. Sorry google
groups. I'm trying to do an individual reply to this post only so that
the rest of them just die out.
Ps. Still looking for any suggestions to my wierd problem with OAEP
padding. Thanks.

Hi, I had a look at the vast information on encryption in the MSDN and got pretty confused. All I want to do is to encrypt a string into an encrypted string and later decrypt that (encrypted) string again to a human readable form. Can't be that difficult :). Could you send me please into the right direction. Thanks in advance. --

Hello, I'm trying to encrypt passwords in my app. After discovering that there's no simple function to do this, I wrote a wrapper class which decodes a string using UTF8, encrypts it with TripleDES and returns a Base64-encoded string. The decryption function does the reverse, i.e. Base64-decodes the string, decrypts it with the same Key and IV, and encodes it again with UTF8. The problem is that after decrypting, the 8th character is...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
