SignData function is detected by firewall

Hi!

I use the RSACryptoServiceProvider to sign some data. I instantiate the provider and its parameters, I read the key from a fixed string and the use the SignData function to sign the data. At the execution of SignData my firewall shows a warning that my application is trying to access a specific computer in my network. I think this computer is used as a DNS server. The SignData function waits until I allow or deny this from the firewall and then returns the results even if I press 'Deny'.

I tried to use Encrypt and Decrypt function and they do not behave this way.

Why is SignData trying to access the network

Thanks in advance,

Dimitris

    So SignData 'phones home', just activate a sniffer and let it phone home to see what gets exchanged.
