How to use rsa-library on Windows Phone 7?

Question

I found that the rsa class (RSACryptoServiceProvider) can be used in C #, but it cannot be used on a Windows phone.

If I have a Windows Phone 7 request to use RSA, how can I do this?

Answer 1

You can try http://scrypt.codeplex.com/ . Their webpage claims to have successfully used it on Windows Phone 7. And is even compatible with RSACryptoServiceProvider.

Answer 2

Thanks for the link Jari .;) Yes, it works on WP7. My co-developer, David Maltby, worked on WP7 compatibility and testing.

You can also view the sample code on my blog: http://www.dustinhorne.com/post/2010/11/21/Asymmetric-Encryption-and-Signing-with-RSA-in-Silverlight.aspx
