    I have someone who has given me a string that was encrypted with their RSA
    private key. I tried to import their RSA public key and decrypt their strng
    but I get "Bad Key." as the response:

            'Verify the signature is authentic using the sender's public key.
            Dim rsa As New RSACryptoServiceProvider

            rsa.FromXmlString(publicKey)

            Dim SignatureDecrypted() As Byte = rsa.Decrypt(signature, False)

    Any help would be appreciated.
