You can also just call the standard CryptoAPI routines from your CSP. Doing
that will automatically validate the signature of the Microsoft CSP during
the call to CryptAcquireContext. The rest of the Microsoft Crypt... calls
just call that DLL's corresponding CP... function, as Laszlo described.
(Make sure you explicitly name the Microsoft CSPs in the call to
CryptAcquireContext, as opposed to taking the default CSP for the type, just
to be safe.)

I've used both techniques without problems.
