Hi @mc ，

Consider the follow steps.

Compute the hash of the string using the MD5 algorithm. Ensure that the input string is properly encoded to bytes using a consistent encoding (e.g., UTF-8).
After computing the hash, you sign it using the RSA private key. This operation generates a digital signature that binds the hash value to the private key.

Best Regards.

how to sign using RSA private key

Check the following example.

string data = "Hello, world!";
            byte[] dataBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
            byte[] hashBytes = MD5.Create().ComputeHash(dataBytes);

            byte[] signatureBytes = rsa.SignHash(hashBytes, HashAlgorithmName.MD5, RSASignaturePadding.Pkcs1);

            // Convert the signature to a base64 string for storage or transmission
            string signatureBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(signatureBytes);
