[Q] Windows Phone 8.1 Encrypt data

diego.stamigni · Apr 26, 2014

Hello, I need to encrypt a string with a public key (or certificate) obtained from a REST service. I have these in base64 format. The question is: how can I do on Windows Phone 8.1? There's no X509Certificate, X509Certificate2 or RsaCryptoServiceProvider available..

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Update 2..

I think you are now using non-Silverlight apps in visual studio.
Try Silverlight application

Yep but I'm developing a universal library. I'll probably try Bouncy Castle (PCL) in order to do what I need.

Universal libraries are extremely crippled. Many features are unavailable for universal libs, even things that can be done (in different ways) across all the different platforms you are targeting.

BouncyCastle is a decent option though, as long as you don't need native performance.
