| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter() | Initializes a new instance of the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class. |
![]() | RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter(AsymmetricAlgorithm) | Initializes a new instance of the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class with the specified key. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Parameters | Gets the parameters for the PKCS #1 key exchange.(Overrides AsymmetricKeyExchangeFormatter.Parameters.) |
![]() | Rng | Gets or sets the random number generator algorithm to use in the creation of the key exchange. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CreateKeyExchange(Byte[]) | Creates the encrypted key exchange data from the specified input data.(Overrides AsymmetricKeyExchangeFormatter.CreateKeyExchange(Byte[]).) |
![]() | CreateKeyExchange(Byte[], Type) | Creates the encrypted key exchange data from the specified input data.(Overrides AsymmetricKeyExchangeFormatter.CreateKeyExchange(Byte[], Type).) |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm) | Sets the public key to use for encrypting the key exchange data.(Overrides AsymmetricKeyExchangeFormatter.SetKey(AsymmetricAlgorithm).) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
Key exchange allows a sender to create secret information (such as random data that can be used as a key in a symmetric encryption algorithm) and use encryption to send it to the intended recipient.
Use RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeDeformatter to receive the key exchange and extract the secret information from it.
Caution |
|---|
We recommend that you do not attempt to create your own key exchange method from the basic functionality provided, because many details of the operation must be performed carefully in order for the key exchange to be successful. |
The following example shows how to use the RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter class to create an exchange key for a message recipient.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Security.Cryptography; using System.Text; class Alice { public static void Main(string[] args) { using (Bob bob = new Bob()) { using (RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaKey = new RSACryptoServiceProvider()) { // Get Bob's public key rsaKey.ImportCspBlob(bob.key); byte[] encryptedSessionKey = null; byte[] encryptedMessage = null; byte[] iv = null; Send(rsaKey, "Secret message", out iv, out encryptedSessionKey, out encryptedMessage); bob.Receive(iv, encryptedSessionKey, encryptedMessage); } } } private static void Send(RSA key, string secretMessage, out byte[] iv, out byte[] encryptedSessionKey, out byte[] encryptedMessage) { using (Aes aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider()) { iv = aes.IV; // Encrypt the session key RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter keyFormatter = new RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeFormatter(key); encryptedSessionKey = keyFormatter.CreateKeyExchange(aes.Key, typeof(Aes)); // Encrypt the message using (MemoryStream ciphertext = new MemoryStream()) using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(ciphertext, aes.CreateEncryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write)) { byte[] plaintextMessage = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(secretMessage); cs.Write(plaintextMessage, 0, plaintextMessage.Length); cs.Close(); encryptedMessage = ciphertext.ToArray(); } } } } public class Bob : IDisposable { public byte[] key; private RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaKey = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(); public Bob() { key = rsaKey.ExportCspBlob(false); } public void Receive(byte[] iv, byte[] encryptedSessionKey, byte[] encryptedMessage) { using (Aes aes = new AesCryptoServiceProvider()) { aes.IV = iv; // Decrypt the session key RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeDeformatter keyDeformatter = new RSAPKCS1KeyExchangeDeformatter(rsaKey); aes.Key = keyDeformatter.DecryptKeyExchange(encryptedSessionKey); // Decrypt the message using (MemoryStream plaintext = new MemoryStream()) using (CryptoStream cs = new CryptoStream(plaintext, aes.CreateDecryptor(), CryptoStreamMode.Write)) { cs.Write(encryptedMessage, 0, encryptedMessage.Length); cs.Close(); string message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(plaintext.ToArray()); Console.WriteLine(message); } } } public void Dispose() { rsaKey.Dispose(); } }
