Actually, i have started work on creating a web service in Python and C#(.NET 3.5 framework) as client. All requests are on POST so i decided to send my data in encrypted form using public key on C# side and decrypt data in Python, Again from python Encrypt data using Private Key & decrypt using public key in C# side..

But the problem here is that keys i hav generated in C# side that is in <RSAKeyValue>...</RSAKeyValue> xml format that is not support in python.

I have also tried from python to generate key pair, that are not working C# side..

Hello,

Perhaps you can try using Chilkat RSA Python Library (http://www.chilkatsoft.com/rsa-python.asp) on python side.
