Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

An error occurred during a cryptographic operation.

This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.
