Getting public key using modulus and exponent

Question

hi to all another problem another question..

I am on a C# project that decrypts encrypted messages. for decrypting i am using openssl. I am able to encrypt a message with private key and decrypt it public key with given below code

CryptoKey key = CryptoKey.FromPrivateKey(prvkey, null);
RSA rsa = key.GetRSA();
byte[] alinan = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(textBox1.Text);
byte[] sonuc = rsa.PrivateEncrypt(alinan, RSA.Padding.PKCS1);

key = CryptoKey.FromPublicKey(pubkey, null);
rsa = key.GetRSA();
byte[] cozulen = rsa.PublicDecrypt(sonuc, RSA.Padding.None);

but for my project i dont have public key , i have only modulus and exponent. I dont know how to get the public key by using modulus and exponent. I have done many searchings but i couldnt find any proper answer. Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks..

If you don't have the public key you will be unable to decrypt the message. — Security Hound, Apr 15 '13 at 14:22

At least on the c++ openssl the process is:

1 - Generate two BigNumbers from the byte array (modulus and exponent)

2 - Create a new (empty) RSA object

3 - Set the n (modulus) and e (public exponent) attributes of the RSA object.

You may be able to replicate this process in any technology (java, java card, etc)

FYI, the RSA public key is just the combination of the public modulus and the public exponent. – TylerY86 Mar 15 '15 at 21:33
