    first of all apologies if i am repeating posts but i am yet to find a
    satisfactory conclusion...

    i have followed these procedures to the letter and have ran into problems :
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetHT09.asp

    the encryption and decrpytion works fine on my dev machine utilising a
    domain user account but when i transfered my app to another server things
    went wrong, the decrytption is failing...

    the error thrown is as follows :

    Exception decrypting. Exception decrypting. Decryption failed. Key not valid
    for use in specified state.

    this would suggest to me that the machine store method is being utilised
    rather that the user store but this is definately not the case...

    thank you very much in advance for any help...

    - jd
