Public & Private Keys in .NET besides RSA

Am I missing something obvious here (I hope I am), besides RSA, are there any other crypto methods in .NET that use a public & private key?

Thanks!

No. You are not missing anything. RSA appears to be the only public key encryption scheme implemented in .NET. DSA and ECDSA are signature schemes and Diffie-Hellman is a key agreement scheme.

Rsa is derived from the class AsymmetricAlgorithm

From there, MSDN lists the following derived classes:

System.Security.Cryptography.DSA
System.Security.Cryptography.ECDiffieHellman
System.Security.Cryptography.ECDsa
System.Security.Cryptography.RSA
