encryption

I have a 2048 bits public key (asymmetric, RSA) of which I know the Modulus and Exponent and need to encrypt a string.

Ideally, I want to encrypt a small string in c# and later on decrypt it with python.

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
