I'm currently working on a class that encrypts large amounts of text with a randomly generated encryption key encrypted by a X509 certificate from a smart card, using a RSACryptoServiceProvider to perform the master key encryption and decryption operations. However, when I have the fOEAP padding option set to true, I have the "Error while decoding OAEP padding" error on decryption every time. I've checked the key size and it is within acceptable limits. And I've gone through breakpoints to make sure that the Base64 string that gets returned from the encryption function is the exact same as the encrypted Base64 string that gets passed back to the decryption function when the file gets loaded again.
The key pair is definitely correct, since it works fine without OAEP. And I've checked the text encoding too.
EDIT: It turns out this could be a smart card specific issue, when I tried decryption with a local X509 certificate the decryption succeeded.
EDIT: This is the decryption code that fails:
string TestString = "Hello World!";
X509Certificate2 cert = DRXEncrypter.GetCertificate("Select a test certificate", "Select a certificate to use for this test from the local store.");
string key = DRXEncrypter.GenerateEncryptionKey(214);
Console.WriteLine("Encryption Key: " + key);
string encrypted = DRXEncrypter.EncryptBody(TestString, key);
Console.WriteLine("Encrypted Body: " + encrypted);
string cryptokey = DRXEncrypter.EncryptWithCert(cert, key);
Console.WriteLine("Encrypted Decryption Key: " + cryptokey);
string decrypted = DRXEncrypter.DecryptBody(encrypted, cryptokey, cert);
Console.WriteLine("Decrypted Body: " + decrypted);
Console.WriteLine("Output String: " + decrypted + ".");
Here is the code from the crypto provider class I've written. I've been stuck on this issue for hours, so it would be great if someone could help me out.
