I have created a public key using RSACryptoServiceProvider in c#. Later in my program I want to store it's content in database. How can I make sure that the file is a true public key.
Note: I have checked it's structure against xsd. but I need more. Any help?
the code to produce public key:
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(2048);
string publicKey = rsa.ToXmlString(false);
finally I've found a solution: first I check the schema against a xsd file, and then
try
{
var csp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
var reader = new StreamReader(address);
var xml = reader.ReadToEnd();
csp.FromXmlString(xml);
}
catch
{
//not a rsa public key
}
