Convert .NET ECD CngKey/key pair into PEM file.

Ecd2Pem

How to use?

Install nuget package Ecd2Pem:

nuget install Ecd2Pem

If you have CngKey:

string pemString = EcdConverter.FromCngKey(cngKey);

and you'll get:

-----BEGIN EC PARAMETERS-----
BggqhkjOPQMBBw==
-----END EC PARAMETERS-----
-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----

5uNTRpUJCQ==
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

(The CngKey can/should be generated this way):

CngKey cngKey = CngKey.Create(CngAlgorithm.ECDiffieHellmanP256, null, new CngKeyCreationParameters
{
    ExportPolicy = CngExportPolicies.AllowPlaintextExport, 
});

If you have a public key(generated from base64 converted public key):

string pemString = EcdConverter.FromPublicKey("RUNLMSAAAAAE4GoZ96sN5mEJjsrDndtDDg8wP5eJjz0IS/vTucWJEp1yJmdhLEaxJp4it5ZrBRBHvYWUbsA6WncRkwGp/oHZ")

And you'll get:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
