RSA and Public Private key

[Dave]

I have a project where I need to generate a file and then send it with a
supplied public key. I've done the file generation, now I'm trying to do the
encryption. It looks like I can use RSA, specifically
RSACryptoServiceProvider. The problem is that the public key is supposed to
use Version: PGP 7.1. What version is RSACryptoServiceProvider? Can it be
specified?

I'm new to encryption, could you point me to some documentation and examples?

Thanks

PGP "Pretty Good Privacy" is not exactly the same as the RSA encryption
algorithm. You probably need to check a little deeper into what your exact
requirements are.

What I need is PGP 7.1. Do I need a plug in to implement this standard? If so
do you have any you would suggest?

AFAIK PGP supports a whole bunch of different algorithms. You'll need to
find out which to use.
