Summary
The Go implementation has richer validation utilities not yet in .NET:
IsValidPublicKey(src string) — validate any public key without specifying a prefix- Type-specific validators:
IsValidPublicUserKey(), IsValidPublicAccountKey(), etc.
CompatibleKeyPair(kp, expected...) — check a KeyPair matches one of several expected types
The .NET library only has IsValidPublicKey(prefix, publicKey) which requires specifying the prefix upfront.
Approach
Add static validation methods to KeyPair. The type-specific validators are sugar over the existing method. IsValidPublicKey without prefix and CompatibleKeyPair are new functionality. Purely additive.
