Asymmetric Cryptography in PCL Project

I want to create a service to encrypt and decrypt with any asymmetric encryption. So, basically I will have a public and a private key and I will have:

public interface ICryptoService
{
    byte[] Encrypt(byte[] byteToEncrypt, int asymetricKey);
    byte[] Decrypt(byte[] byteToDecrypt, int asymetricKey);
}

But, in my CorePCL project, with Profile 78 (.netFramework45+wphone8+monodroid+monotouch) I can't add a reference to System.Security.Cryptography.

How can I add a reference to any DLL or portable package to give me support for PCL 78 to use any asymmetric encryption? Any clue?

  • Also try PCL Crypto. It's more recent and actively maintained than PCL Contrib.
