Hi, i am using cryptoapi to encrypt my files. The files are decrypted if i
decrypt them on the same system with same user, but if i try to decrypt them
with different user or on different system, decryption fails. The function i
am using to encrypt files are:-
CryptAcquireContext();
CryptGetUserKey( );
CryptGetUserKey( );
GeneratePrivateKey();
CryptGenKey();
etc.
The fuction failing on decryption is
CryptImportKey();
Can anybody tell how to decrypt files on a different system;
Thanks;

.
