I'm mainly posting this for anyone else that needs it since there seems to be a great lack of resources on the internet for this. The samples I did find seemed hobbled together at best and never worked for me. If you see or find anything wrong with this class, I'd love to know. Note that this class is slightly modified for my particular implementation but should work fine against version 1.7 of the Bouncy Castle .Net source code.
