Encrypt / Decrypt in C# using Certificate : <p>I'm having trouble finding a good example in encrypting / decrypting strings in C# <em>using a certificate</em>. I was able to find and implement an example of <strong>signing</strong> and validating a signature, as shown below. Could someone point me to an easy, similar example for encryption?</p>

<pre><code>private static string Sign(RSACryptoServiceProvider privateKey, string content)
{
    SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed();
    UnicodeEncoding  encoding = new UnicodeEncoding ();
    byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(content);
    byte[] hash = sha1.ComputeHash(data);

    // Sign the hash
    var signature = privateKey.SignHash(hash, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"));
    return Convert.ToBase64String(signature);
}

public static bool Verify(RSACryptoServiceProvider publicKey, string content, string hashString)
{
    SHA1Managed sha1 = new SHA1Managed();
    UnicodeEncoding  encoding = new UnicodeEncoding ();
    byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(content);
    byte[] hash = sha1.ComputeHash(data);
    return publicKey.VerifyHash(hash, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"), Convert.FromBase64String(hashString));
}
</code></pre>
