SSH2 RSA key import/export

#1

We have a need to use public/private keys generated with OpenSSH in a
C# app. Ideally we would like to use RSACryptoServiceProvider to load
the keys up, all attempts in up with "Bad Version of provider." I
found a referemnce to a slight implementation change between
RSACryptoServiceProvider and normalized SSH keys.

Does anyone know of a simple way to implement loading of public and
private keys generated from OpenSSH with RSACryptoServiceProvider?

I did look at how SharpSSH did it (fairly complicated, but for their
own reasons) and was hoping to find a simpler solution.

Thanks,

Gary Smith
