Asymmetric private keys should never be stored verbatim or in plain text on the local computer. If you need to store a private key, you should use a key container. For more information on key containers, see Understanding Machine-Level and User-Level RSA Key Containers.

To create an asymmetric key and save it in a key container

1. Create a new instance of a CspParameters class and pass the name that you want to call the key container to the CspParameters.KeyContainerName field.

2. Create a new instance of a class that derives from the AsymmetricAlgorithm class (usually RSACryptoServiceProvider or DSACryptoServiceProvider) and pass the previously created CspParameters object to its constructor.

To delete the key from a key container

1. Create a new instance of a CspParameters class and pass the name that you want to call the key container to the CspParameters.KeyContainerName field.

2. Create a new instance of a class that derives from the AsymmetricAlgorithm class (usually RSACryptoServiceProvider or DSACryptoServiceProvider) and pass the previously created CspParametersMicrosoft visio 2016 product key generator. object to its constructor.

3. Set the PersistKeyInCSP property of the class that derives from AsymmetricAlgorithm to false (False in Visual Basic).

4. Call the Clear method of the class that derives from AsymmetricAlgorithm. This method releases all resources of the class and clears the key container.

Example

Openssl generate key from pfx. The following example demonstrates how to create an asymmetric key, save it in a key container, retrieve the key at a later time, and delete the key from the container.

Notice that code in the GenKey_SaveInContainer method and the GetKeyFromContainer method is similar. When you specify a key container name for a CspParameters object and pass it to an AsymmetricAlgorithm object with the PersistKeyInCsp property or PersistKeyInCsp property set to true, the following occurs. If a key container with the specified name does not exist, then one is created and the key is persisted. If a key container with the specified name does exist, then the key in the container is automatically loaded into the current AsymmetricAlgorithm object. Therefore, the code in the GenKey_SaveInContainer method persists the key because it is run first, while the code in the GetKeyFromContainer method loads the key because it is run second.

The current OpenPGP standard uses key pairs with RSA, DH/DSS, and ECC asymmetric encryption keys. In this chapter, we are going to generate an RSA key pair with DidiSoft OpenPGP Library for .NET.

Each OpenPGP key pair contains additional information which we have to specify upfront:

• User ID of the key owner, usually in the form “Person name or Organization name <owners_email@website>“
• Size in bits of the encryption key (must be over 1024 and up to 4096)
• list of preferred symmetric encryption algorithms
• list of preferred hash algorithms
• list of preferred compression algorithms
• key expiration date (if the key will be with a time-limited use)

The original PGP(r) software uses a naming convention for delimiting the email in the User ID label with < and > like: “Richard C. <richard.c@site.com>”

Generate RSA based OpenPGP key pair

Below is a short example program that shows how to generate an RSA OpenPGP key pair in a KeyStore object.

C# example

VB.NET example

The above code generates a key pair that does not expire. An overloaded method exists that accepts an expiration date as the last parameter. A key pair can also be generated without using a KeyStore, through a similar method in the PGPKeyPair class.

After the key pair is generated it can be exported. Usually, we will send the public key part of it to our partners.

Below is a screenshot of the key properties after the key is imported in PGP (r) Desktop version 10. Please note that in our example above we have omitted the < > around the email part of the User ID and that’s why PGP(r) displays the name and email part of the User ID together.

Async support

In order to create a key pair asynchronously, we have to use the DidiSoft.Pgp.KeyStoreAsync class which provides the same key creation methods with Async suffixes.

Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed RSA OpenPGP key generation with DidiSoft OpenPGP Library for .NET.

You may also consider reading DH/DSS OpenPGP key pair generation, ECC key pair generation, keys exporting and importing.

Example application

In the library installation folder under the Examples subfolder, you can find the project KeyToolCS (KeyToolVB for VB.NET), a demo WinForms application that illustrates OpenPGP key generation as well as many other operations that can be performed over OpenPGP keys.
