It seems this is a bigger PITA than I think it should be.... Anyway, here's some source I googled up for a converter between OpenSSL's PEM and .NET's XML format. I think it should give you a pretty good start.

The keys are output by OpenSSL. They look like: -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- MIIBygIBAAJhANS1c5VhPikZk16sUrGD ....(more base64 encoded text)... xtfsjBFtV2QC9F8ji+aIAWH3Jvd4sGrTs -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MHwwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADawAwa ....(more base64 encoded text)... shqfeOdAJbehcg3dsJthMtCthE1Exes6HQI -----END PUBLIC KEY----- Any ideas on where I can start? I'd prefer to do this in .NET 1.1. just fyi...the keys are generated from the OpenSSL command: $ openssl genrsa -out private.key 768 and $ openssl rsa -in private.key -out public.key -pubout -outform PEM Thanks!
