Zubin,

Here is an MSDN article on generating key pairs:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;313091

I'm not sure these are in PEM format, I'm not familiar with that.

Using with RSA, I don't know either, I believe you will be able to find some
info on these items in MSDN.

msdn.microsoft.com

Good luck,
