RSACryptoServiceProvider.Decrypt Method
Decrypts data with the RSA algorithm.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- rgb
- Type: System.Byte[]
The data to be decrypted.
- fOAEP
- Type: System.Boolean
true to perform direct RSA decryption using OAEP padding (only available on a computer running Microsoft Windows XP or later); otherwise, false to use PKCS#1 v1.5 padding.
Return Value
Type: System.Byte[]The decrypted data, which is the original plain text before encryption.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| CryptographicException |
The cryptographic service provider (CSP) cannot be acquired. -or- The fOAEP parameter is true and the length of the rgb parameter is greater than KeySize. -or- The fOAEP parameter is true and OAEP is not supported. |
| ArgumentNullException |
rgb is null. |
The following code example encrypts and decrypts data.
This example uses the ASCIIEncoding class; however, the UnicodeEncoding class may be preferable in large data operations. The encrypted value can be saved as an nvarchar data type in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; using System.Text; class RSACSPSample { static void Main() { try { //Create a UnicodeEncoder to convert between byte array and string. ASCIIEncoding ByteConverter = new ASCIIEncoding(); string dataString = "Data to Encrypt"; //Create byte arrays to hold original, encrypted, and decrypted data. byte[] dataToEncrypt = ByteConverter.GetBytes(dataString); byte[] encryptedData; byte[] decryptedData; //Create a new instance of the RSACryptoServiceProvider class // and automatically create a new key-pair. RSACryptoServiceProvider RSAalg = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(); //Display the origianl data to the console. Console.WriteLine("Original Data: {0}", dataString); //Encrypt the byte array and specify no OAEP padding. //OAEP padding is only available on Microsoft Windows XP or //later. encryptedData = RSAalg.Encrypt(dataToEncrypt, false); //Display the encrypted data to the console. Console.WriteLine("Encrypted Data: {0}", ByteConverter.GetString(encryptedData)); //Pass the data to ENCRYPT and boolean flag specifying //no OAEP padding. decryptedData = RSAalg.Decrypt(encryptedData, false); //Display the decrypted plaintext to the console. Console.WriteLine("Decrypted plaintext: {0}", ByteConverter.GetString(decryptedData)); } catch(CryptographicException e) { //Catch this exception in case the encryption did //not succeed. Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } } }
