In the case of the AsymmetricCipherKeyPair it's because it's possible to build the public key from the private key data as well, they're just slightly different ways of looking at the same data.

The difference is that I have to read them into different types of variables. One in AsymmetricCipherKeyPair and the other in RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters, when I check using 'openssl rsa -check -in autosign.key' both give me the same result.

The key generated with openssl ,'openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout autosign.key -out autosign.cer -days 365 -nodes' I have to read it with RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters and the one generated with bouncy castle with AsymmetricCipherKeyPair and I can't find the difference between them. I'm also not sure that the way to convert a certificate and key to a p12 file is correct. using (StreamReader streamReader = File.OpenText(archivoKey)) { Org.BouncyCastle.OpenSsl.PemReader pemReader; pemReader = new Org.BouncyCastle.OpenSsl.PemReader(streamReader, new PasswordFinder(clave)); /*AsymmetricCipherKeyPair keyPair; keyPair = (AsymmetricCipherKeyPair)pemReader.ReadObject();*/ RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters keyPair; keyPair = (RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters)pemReader.ReadObject(); streamReader.Close(); X509CertificateEntry[] chain = new X509CertificateEntry[1]; X509CertificateParser x509CertificateParser = new X509CertificateParser(); X509Certificate cert = x509CertificateParser.ReadCertificate(File.ReadAllBytes(archivoCsr)); IDictionary bagAttr = new Hashtable(); bagAttr.Add(PkcsObjectIdentifiers.Pkcs9AtFriendlyName.Id, new DerBmpString(noExtension)); /*bagAttr.Add(PkcsObjectIdentifiers.Pkcs9AtLocalKeyID.Id, new SubjectKeyIdentifierStructure(pubKey));*/ chain[0] = new X509CertificateEntry(cert, bagAttr); bagAttr = new Hashtable(); Pkcs12Store store = new Pkcs12StoreBuilder().Build(); store.SetKeyEntry(noExtension, new AsymmetricKeyEntry(keyPair, bagAttr), chain); FileStream fOut = File.Create(archivep12)); store.Save(fOut, clave.ToCharArray(), new SecureRandom()); fOut.Close(); }
