C# X509 usb certificate hangs application

I'm trying to find out why my application hangs on exit, after the use of a usb token certificate.
Without any try/catch blocks or other logic, the code is:



X509Store s= new X509Store(StoreName.My, StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
s.Open(OpenFlags.OpenExistingOnly);
X509Certificate2 cert = s.Certificates[0];
s.Close();

RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = cert.PublicKey.Key as RSACryptoServiceProvider;
byte cryptedData = rsa.Encrypt(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("test"), true);

rsa = cert.PrivateKey as RSACryptoServiceProvider;
string x = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(rsa.Decrypt(cryptedData, true));


When I run the code inside a button click event, I am prompted for the PIN of the USB token. After I type and confirm the PIN , the variable x == "test", which is to be expected. Therefore encryption and decryption with the token work.



When I close the form, the application just hangs, and, if I click "break all" in VS2017, even visual studio hangs. My guess is that something related to the usb-token cryptography functions is not released/closed.



I've tried, without any luck, with:



Environment.Exit(0);
cert.Reset();
rsa.Clear();
rsa.Dispose();
cert.Dispose();


Any ideas?
Thank you.

  • I don't think the issue is with the X509 usb certificate. I may be wrong. I suspect it is with the closing of the form. I bet if you comment out the code posted you will still get the hanging. Is the project a Window Form Project? Do you have only one class in the project? Is the form the main form? I suspect you are getting an unhandled exception during the exit. It sound like it is in the Net Library. I would open in control panel the event viewer and check for exceptions at the time the app was run.

  • There is no other code inside the application. Commenting the above x509 code causes normal behavior on exit. There is no exception upon exit.

  • Yes. Unfortunately, there are no entries

  • Did you check the processes in Task Manager? I would also try a sniffer like wireshark or fiddler. I suspect it is an issue with a virus checker.
