Casting private key to RSACryptoServiceProvider not working
So after a few tries and discussions in the comments I came up with the following solution.
RSA rsa = (RSA)cert.PrivateKey;
(cert.PrivateKey as RSACng).Key.SetProperty(
new CngProperty(
"Export Policy",
BitConverter.GetBytes((int)CngExportPolicies.AllowPlaintextExport),
CngPropertyOptions.Persist));
RSAParameters RSAParameters = rsa.ExportParameters(true);
AsymmetricCipherKeyPair keypair = DotNetUtilities.GetRsaKeyPair(RSAParameters);
The problem was that the variable rsa
wasn't exportable. To change this I set a new CngProperty for the export policy. Works perfectly now
Just wanted to note that there's also an extension method that can be used:
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
...
//certificate is a X509Certificate2
using (var rsa = certificate.GetRSAPrivateKey())
{
//the var rsa is an RSA object
//...
}
