KB-RSA

A classlibrary project released as nuget that makes it easy to use for key generation, encryption, and decryption with RSA.

All classes in the project are in static structure.

KeySizes

public static class KeySizes {...}
  • A list of accepted key sizes for RSA
public enum KeySize 
{
   _384 = 384,
   _392 = 392,
   .
   .
   _2048 = 2048,
   .
   .
   _16384 = 16384
}

RSAKeyModel

public class RSAKeyModel {...}
  • Two property to store public and private key
public RSAParameters publicKey { get; set; }
public RSAParameters privateKey { get; set; }

GenerateKey

public static class GenerateKey {...}

key generation processes

  • Returns the public and private key it generates according to the key size sent into it as an RSAKeyModel object.
public static RSAKeyModel RSAGenerateKey(KeySize keySize)
{
    int ks = (int)keySize;
    RSAKeyModel model = new RSAKeyModel();
    using (RSACryptoServiceProvider csp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(ks))
    {
        model.publicKey = csp.ExportParameters(false);
        model.privateKey = csp.ExportParameters(true);
    }
    return model;
}
  • It creates a folder on the desktop with the date and time of the day and saves the public and private key it generates according to the key size sent to it.
public static bool RSAGenerateXMLKey(KeySize keySize)
{
    int ks = (int)keySize;
    using (RSACryptoServiceProvider csp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(ks))
    {
        string filePath = DirectoryControl();
        string publicKeyPath = $@"{filePath}\public.key";
        string privateKeyPath = $@"{filePath}\private.key";
        string publicKey = csp.ToXmlString(false);
        TextWriter publicKeyWriter = new StreamWriter(publicKeyPath);
        publicKeyWriter.WriteLine(publicKey);
        publicKeyWriter.Dispose();
        publicKeyWriter.Close();
        string privateKey = csp.ToXmlString(true);
        TextWriter privateKeyWriter = new StreamWriter(privateKeyPath);
        privateKeyWriter.WriteLine(privateKey);

    if (folderCheck == false)
        Directory.CreateDirectory(filePath);
    string publicKeyPath = $@"{filePath}\public.key";
