Default Encrypting data using System.Security.Cryptography/ Decrypting w/PGP - 03-02-2005 , 10:21 AM






Given a pgp public key: Is it possible to encrypt data using the
System.Security.Cryptograghy library and decrypt the data using PGPcmdln? I
tried and got this error (while trying to decrypt the file): "File is not a
PGP file!". What can I do?

Use PGP library for .NET. You might want to check at http://www.secureblackbox.com/descri...pblackbox.html
PGPBlackbox for .NET will be officially released in about a week (it's beta
now).

With best regards,

Hello foobar,

no, that will not work. .NET does not have support for PGP keys (1.1 and
2.0).
