This issue also happens when running application in low integrity level: see msdn "Designing Applications to Run at a Low Integrity Level"

We have had a similar issue with our software on one user's machine.

I tracked it down to CryptAcquireContextW failing with NTE_BAD_KEY_STATE (0x8009000B) - 'Key not valid for use in specified state'.

I will test if the patch fixes their issue too.

Regarding the NTE_BAD_KEY_STATE problem i mentioned above, this patch also resolves the issue.

+1 for integrating the patch into boost. ;)

The documentation for CryptAcquireContext (which I apparently cannot link to without the post being considered spam) also says that CRYPT_VERIFYCONTEXT should be passed in the flags when doing any operation that doesn't require access to persisted private keys for performance reasons, which is the case here.

Is there anything preventing the integration of the provided patch to fix this bug? Is there any way to bump up its priority? Anything I can do to help?

Thanks!

I would also appreciate to merge the patch into the next boost version.

The pull request mentioned above is available here and was first included in Boost 1.60

Thanks for fixing that :)
