Encrypting an object using RSACryptoServic eProvider

1 New Member
I want to encrypt an object of my Windows Forms application using RSACryptoServic eProvider class and then serialize the encrypted object. The problem is, the RSACryptoServic eProvider.Encry pt() method takes the data to be encrypted as a byte[] parameter and not System.Object.

Is there any workaround for this?

Is there any way to convert any arbitrary object into a byte array WITHOUT serializing the plain object ? (serializing it using MemoryStream & then using ToByteArray() won't work, b'coz it would involve serializing the object without encrypting it first)

BTW, I'm using .Net 2.0 (VS 2005) .

There are two methods in RSACryptoServiceProvider to verify signed data: VerifyData(byte buffer, object halg, byte signature) VerifyHash(byte rgbHash, string str, byte rgbSignature) What is not clear to me is, why the second method (VerifyHash()) needs OID of used hash algorithm. Probably, it is used to compare it to the OID saved in a signature. But, when there is OID to compare to, then why VerifyData needs the

Hi, Using the RSA-crypto algorithm in .NET , when actually encrypting/decrypting, all the code samples I ran into always used something like, to encrypt : // create keypair and store in container CspParameters param = new CspParameters(); param.KeyContainerName = "NewKeyContainer"; param.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore; RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaObj = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(param);

Hello all, It seems that digitally signing XML documents using the SignedXml class has a bug - or at least a behavior I cannot explain. The problem occurs when I sign XML documents containing namespace prefixes and namespace references and then validate it. The validation always fails (returns false) in this case. When I remove the namespace prefixes and namespace references from the XML, signing and validating works fine.

Hello out there can anyone tell me if there exists something similar to RSACryptoServiceProvider that i can use to encode/decode messages but just the contrary way? I mean having a private/public key on some app and use only the public key on another app to decrypt the messages. All i want to do is shipping some data to some customers (via email eg.) but have the data crypted.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
