ASP. NET 6 MVC application invokes openssl for signing using

openssl rsautl -sign -in rasi.bin -inkey riktest.key -out allkiri.bin

How to convert this to .NET 6 so that invoking openssl is not required?

riktest.key is text file containing

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Bo8lWrCw32h3v/FFMrK8KuktlnBtsSLaCCz1DWuXORzHaW7EqG8O8QNzFSmhIoqp
...

Does .NET 6 System.Security.Cryptography namespace contain this OpenSsl functionality ?

    Hi,

    To sign data in .NET you can use following example:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.rsacryptoserviceprovider.signdata?view=net-6.0

    You have to figure out how to import your own key because the example is using an autogenerated key.

    Hope this helps!
