Network Programming in .NET

This is more of a useful code snippet than any great revelation, however, if you ever needed to convert a byte array of a X509 cert into a X509 certificate object, then here’s how you do it using BouncyCastle

var certificateBase64 = File.ReadAllText(“cert.txt”);
var certData = Convert.FromBase64String(certificateBase64);
var parser = new X509CertificateParser();
var cert = parser.ReadCertificate(certData);

Really easy!; Here’s the project on GitHub – https://github.com/infiniteloopltd/CertificateDecoder
