Re: DECRYPT with PUBLIC key (how to?)

You can sign with private key and verify signature with public key. I
guess that's what you probably wanted to do anyway.

Well hey Valery
I just wanted to know if it could be done because the MS documentation says
it can be. I should have perhaps made clear that I wanted to avoid the 'end
user' having to generate their own key pair and that I wanted to hide certain
values in my application which would be decoded with my own public key which
would not have been made available to the end user.
So I guess I will have to use another encrypt/decrypt method instead to
achieve this.
