Need scripts to do public/private encryption/decryption in Powershell

hi,

i can symmetric encryption/decryption in powershell ok don't seem able figure-out doing public/private keys. many moving parts!  have sample code me started?

thanks.

it looks like, in solution, have download assemblies.

here question - looking encrypt rsa, or generate public/private keypair, send off public key , encrypt private?

you can use rsacryptoserviceprovider generate keypair pretty in .net. however, rsa not typically used encrypting large amounts of data - symmetric ciphers (like aes) typically used that.

for example... might run following command:

$rsa = new-object system.security.cryptography.rsacryptoserviceprovider(2048)

now $rsa contain public/private keypair. can export $rsa.toxmlstring($true) | out-file keys.xml

note $true exports public , private  key. $false export private key. should (i believe, else might know better) able use these keys secure password in symmetric cipher.   of course, whoever you're sending need generate keypair.

give try.
