How to use PGP key files with VB.NET PGP Encryption
Hi there,
I am looking at implementing PGP encryption in VB.NET.
I have gone through the examples of using Asymmetric Encryption and the RSA Encryption class on the understanding that this is the same as PGP encryption. Everything works well and as expected.
However
The Public and Private key files in VB.NET are of an XML format and the PGP key files that I have been supplied with to use are in another format which I have been told is more common in the world of PGP encryption.
Without using a third party solution is there a way that I can use these PGP keys with VB.NET's RSA encryption routines?
Samples of the key files are below.
Thanks

>>The nature of EE is such that awarding points must only be done for tested and verified solutions. In many cases, without a suitable response from the Author to indicate this, we cannot be sure a solution is indeed working as originally requested.
in other words, the author can abandon the question once he got the solution he was expecting and also get full refund.
if authors would know that they gonna lose the points if they abandon their question maybe they will give the experts that devote their spare time to help them, some degree of respect.
in my opinion, the nature of EE as you described above serves a degree of injustice with the experts.
