This exception starts to be thrown recently, the code was working fine:
public byte[] Sign(CmsMessage cmsMessage, CspKeyInfo keyInfo)
{
ContentInfo contentInfo = new ContentInfo(new Oid(cmsMessage.ContentTypeOid), cmsMessage.Content);
var cspObj = new CspParameters()
{
ProviderName = keyInfo.ProviderName,
ProviderType = keyInfo.ProviderType,
KeyNumber = (int)KeyNumber.Signature,
Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseExistingKey,
KeyContainerName = keyInfo.ContainerName
};
var signer = new CmsSigner(cspObj)
{
DigestAlgorithm = new Oid(cmsMessage.SignerHashAlgorithmOid)
};
signer.SignedAttributes.Add(new Pkcs9SigningTime());
var signedCms = new SignedCms(contentInfo, cmsMessage.Detached);
signedCms.ComputeSignature(signer);
var encodeByteBlock = (ByteBlock)signedCms.Encode();
return encodeByteBlock;
}
The signer's SignerIdentifierType is SubjectKeyIdentifier
but it throws: CryptographicException at ComputeSignature
The object identifier is poorly formatted
The dummy certificate has a private key (HasPrivateKey is true)

I have a program with .net 4.7 and we used a CMSSign class, it fail when try to compute sign, actually we convert the class from .Net Core and private property missed, the below code is from .net core
CmsSigner signer = new CmsSigner(xcert);
signer.PrivateKey = privateKey; // missed in .net 4.7
and here full code from from 4.7 and it's not working as expected :
Pkcs11InteropFactories factories = new Pkcs11InteropFactories();
using (var lib = factories.Pkcs11LibraryFactory.LoadPkcs11Library(factories, dllPath, AppType.MultiThreaded))

if (slot is null)
{

}

using (ISession session = slot.OpenSession(SessionType.ReadOnly))
{
session.Login(CKU.CKU_USER, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("123456"));

The .NET Framework version of CmsSigner only works when the certificate object is already coupled to its private key (cert.HasPrivateKey is true).
On .NET Framework 4.7 that pretty well requires putting the cert and private key together in a PFX, or having already had them associated in a cert that's in a cert store.
If privateKey is already just assigned something like cert.GetRSAPrivateKey() then you shouldn't need to assign signer.PrivateKey.
I have a function that signing an XML file with a X509Certificate2 certificate. My problem is that the signature is inserted as SHA-1 and SHA-256 instead. What did I do wrong in my code?
CmsSigner cms = new CmsSigner(oCert);
//if apply this row receive unknow error!
//cms.DigestAlgorithm = new Oid("2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1");
ContentInfo ci = new ContentInfo(File.ReadAllBytes(cFileXml));
SignedCms cmssigned = new SignedCms(ci);
cmssigned.ComputeSignature(cms);
byte[] encodedmessage = cmssigned.Encode();
File.WriteAllBytes(cFile + ".p7m", encodedmessage);

Do you have any idea about problem and the solution?
Edit:
in MSDN page, there is remark which is as follows
To use XML Encryption with X.509 certificates, you must have the
Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed and the X.509
certificate must use the Enhanced Provider. If you do not have the
Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed or the X.509
certificate does not use the Enhanced Provider, a
CryptographicException with an "Unknown Error" will be thrown when you
decrypt an XML document.
Do you have any idea about "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider" and "X.509 certificate"?
And Can my problem be related to this those?
The reason the Decryption functions throws "Bad Data" exception when trying to Decrypt on another PC is that the CspParameters is linked to the session on the PC where the Encryption was run.
The cspParams object will need to be embedded and encrypted in the XML to enable Decryption on another PC. Luckily there is EncryptionProperty we can use for this.

Have a look here for the RijndaelManagedEncryption class.
Do not reinvent cryptography protocols. You will get it wrong. Case in point, mishandling the RSA key stored in the CSPs and expect them to magically appear on any machine.
To encrypt data in transfer, use SSL/TLS. .Net offers it out-of-the-box with SslStream. For WCF see How to: Configure an IIS-hosted WCF service with SSL.
I'm trying to build a self hosted service that uses WebAPI with SSL and I need to be able to self-generate SSL certificates to use. I want to be able to do this all from C#. I've been playing with BouncyCastle.
I need to generate 2 certificates, a root and a site certificate. Then I need to install them in Windows in their correct places.
I can't figure out how to make my second certificate reference my root ca. Everything I've tried just gets me an untrusted certificate error. Any help would be appreciated.
This is what I do (I'm using DSA, but if you are using RSA, just change the key generation).

Also: you have to install you CA certificate into the Trusted CAs store in the client machine, as well as the client certificate (it could be in the Personal or ThirdParty store).
Sample code:
CspParameters cspParameters = new CspParameters();
cspParameters.ProviderType = 1; // PROV_RSA_FULL
// Create the crypto service provider, generating a new
// key.
mRsaCSP = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(mDefaultKeyLength, cspParameters);

}
catch (Exception ce)

Here is my solution, using the BouncyCastle library.
// create the RSA key from an XML string

key.FromXmlString(keyTextBox.Text);

var serial = BigInteger.ProbablePrime(120, new Random());
gen.SetSerialNumber(serial);
gen.SetSubjectDN(name);
gen.SetIssuerDN(name);
gen.SetNotAfter(DateTime.Now.AddYears(10));
gen.SetNotBefore(DateTime.Now);
gen.SetSignatureAlgorithm("MD5WithRSA");
gen.SetPublicKey(keypair.Public);
// generate the certificate
var newCert = gen.Generate(keypair.Private);
// convert back to .NET certificate
var cert = DotNetUtilities.ToX509Certificate(newCert);
// export as byte array
byte[] certData = cert.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx);
File.WriteAllBytes(fileName, certData);
