I am trying to generate an x509 certificate from a pair of keys generated with CngKey. I create the keys with:
var parameters = new CngKeyCreationParameters
{
Provider = CngProvider.MicrosoftSoftwareKeyStorageProvider,
ExportPolicy = CngExportPolicies.AllowPlaintextExport,
KeyCreationOptions = CngKeyCreationOptions.OverwriteExistingKey,
KeyUsage = CngKeyUsages.AllUsages,
UIPolicy = new CngUIPolicy(CngUIProtectionLevels.None)
};
var key = CngKey.Create(CngAlgorithm.ECDsaP384, container, parameters);
byte[] ecPriKey = key.Export(CngKeyBlobFormat.Pkcs8PrivateBlob);
byte[] ecPubKey = key.Export(CngKeyBlobFormat.EccPublicBlob);
I get a BouncyCastle private key with:
AsymmetricKeyParameter akPrivate = PrivateKeyFactory.CreateKey(ecPriKey);
And I have no trouble in it, so that I can see the proper curve's parameters from the key.
However, when I try to get the public key with:
string publicKeyBase64 = Convert.ToBase64String(ecPubKey);
byte[] ecPubKey2 = Base64.Decode(publicKeyBase64);
byte[] ecPublicKey = new byte[ecPubKey.Length -7];
ecPublicKey[0] = 0x04;
Array.Copy(ecPubKey, 8, ecPublicKey, 7, ecPublicKey.Length);
AsymmetricKeyParameter akPublic = PublicKeyFactory.CreateKey(ecPublicKey - 1);
I read I have to erase the 8 first digits from CngKey and add the uncompressed const value 0x04. When I execute "PublicKeyFactory.CreateKey(ecPublicKey)" I get the exception:
ex {"extra data found after object"} System.Exception {System.IO.IOException}
Data {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal} System.Collections.IDictionary {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal}
HResult 0x80131620 int
HelpLink null string
InnerException null System.Exception
Message "extra data found after object" string
Source "BouncyCastle.Crypto" string
StackTrace " at Org.BouncyCastle.Asn1.Asn1Object.FromByteArray(Byte[] data)\r\n at Org.BouncyCastle.Security.PublicKeyFactory.CreateKey(Byte[] keyInfoData)\r\n at Plpm.Csp.Security.KeyTool.SecurityKeyTool.OpGenEc(String[] args) in ..." string
TargetSite {Org.BouncyCastle.Asn1.Asn1Object FromByteArray(Byte[])} System.Reflection.MethodBase {System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo}

Anyway, I get the same exception if I do this directly with the key as:
AsymmetricKeyParameter akPublic = PublicKeyFactory.CreateKey(ecPubKey);
Can someone, please, give me some ideas about why is this error with public key?
Thank you so much.
