InvalidOperationException raised on FIPS-enabled systems.

[Former user]

When attempting to use CipherLite.NET on a system with the FIPS-compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing policy enabled, the following exception gets raised:

System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

This is the same issue as described in https://bitbucket.org/obviex/ciphersafe.net/issue/1/invalidoperationexception-raised-on-fips

Use the same workaround: the set the enabled flag of the configuration/runtime/enforceFIPSPolicy section in your application's app.config, web.config (or system machine config) file to false (you may need to create the section if it does not exist).
