Standards and Interoperability

RSA Cryptography methods have been standardized across all development platforms for many years now.

Every platform I have worked on (Linux, OSX, MS) has basic usable methods of encrypting and decrypting RSA encrypted information. This would lead a programmer to believe that you can pass that encrypted data between environments and systems. Much to my dismay, I have found out this is not actually the case.

Read this MSDN article that explains how since version 1, the MS .NET platform actually passes RSA encrypted data around backwards.
