TMK, it is the same thing as RSA is an abstract base class and
RSACryptoServiceProvider is currently the only concret class that derives
from RSA. Some other stuff goes on in Create, but you end up with an
RSACryptoServiceProvider:

RSA rsa = RSA.Create();
Console.WriteLine("Type:"+rsa.GetType().ToString());
--Output
Type:System.Security.Cryptography.RSACryptoServiceProvider
