Ah - found it:

This was discussed in this newsgroup before: do a search for:

"EncryptMessage (Schannel) and multiple threads "

The bottom line is:
You cannot call EncryptMessage with the same context from 2 threads
simultaneously,
You cannot call Decrypt Message with the same context from 2 threads
simultaneously,
You CAN call EncryptMessage simultanseously with DecryptMessage with the
same context.

So you are probably OK ...... ;)
