RSA Decrypt error

Using the RSA sample from the ebook (on a mini). It keeps throwing Decrypt exception. Any thoughts? I ran out of ideas.

Did you try the example as-is without any modifications?

3

I did that first. I will try again to see if any change.

Tried again with cut/paste. Seems to be same error. Does this code work on other mini’s out there? tia

I tried it, there seems to be something wrong.
Please let us check and get back to you.

Looks like the bug is related to the data size!! We are still looking for a fix but if you change the size of your data then it works fine. For example, 14 and 15 bytes do not work but 16 bytes work fine!

7

There is a workaround suggested by Microsoft:

Thanks for getting back Gus.

That was Mike not me :slight_smile:

Thanks Mike. Maybe you chimps should change your hat colors :slight_smile:

Hello,

I try your example but with my modulus and private key it doesn’t work. I create a certificate and I signed it with a CA with Openssl.

How can I be sure to have the good private/public/modulus informations ?

Thanks for your help
