Try using the NuGet package BouncyCastle.NetCore
. It is more flexible than the RSACryptoServiceProvider
and its associated classes. Here is a NetCore Console example. The size of the message that can be encrypted is limited to the size of the keys.

RsaKeyPairGenerator rsaKeyPairGenerator = new RsaKeyPairGenerator();
int keySize = 2048;
rsaKeyPairGenerator.Init(new KeyGenerationParameters(new SecureRandom(), keySize));
var keyPair = rsaKeyPairGenerator.GenerateKeyPair();
var publicKey = keyPair.Public;
var privateKey = keyPair.Private;
var rsa = new RsaEngine();
rsa.Init(true, privateKey);
string message = "Hello World";
Console.WriteLine($"Original text: {message}");
var plainTextBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message);
byte[] cipherBytes = rsa.ProcessBlock(plainTextBytes, 0, message.Length);
Console.WriteLine("Encrypted text as a byte array:");
Console.WriteLine(BitConverter.ToString(cipherBytes));
rsa.Init(false, publicKey);
byte[] decryptedData = rsa.ProcessBlock(cipherBytes, 0, cipherBytes.Length);
string decipheredText = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(decryptedData);
Console.WriteLine($"Decrypted text: {decipheredText}");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
