Certificates in C#

The namespace responsible for all concepts is "System.Security" Furthermore, the namespace specific to the certification concept is "System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates". The X509Certificates class is mainly used to generate a certificate for an individual solution.

The System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates namespace contains the common language run time implementation of the Authenticode X.509 v.3 certificate. This certificate is signed with a private key that uniquely identifies the holder of the certificate.
Create a quick certificate from one resource file
  1. /First you need to get the contents of your resource file in which your encrypted data resides.
  2. private MemoryStream getCertificate()
  3. {
  4. String certificateFilePath = < Your resource file path > ;
  5. var readCertStream = new MemoryStream(File.ReadAllBytes(certificateFilePath));
  6. return readCertStream;
  7. }
  8. //Second call your previous method to generate the actual certificate
  9. private X509Certificate readCertificate(MemoryStream argInputStream, string argCertificateType)
  10. {
  11. X509Certificate certificate = null;
  12. t
  13. private X509Certificate readCertificate(MemoryStream argInputStream, string argCertificateType)
  14. {
  15. X509Certificate certificate = null;
  16. certificate = new X509Certificate(getCertificate().ToArray());
  17. return certificate;
  18. }
  19. }
In the certificate object you should have your actual certificate.
Happy Coding :)
