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

Answer/Solution:
 

Your Windows environment may be configured to use FIPS encryption that is conflicting with WebInspect.

To correct this you will need to disable the "Local Security Setting System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" policy in Windows.

1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative tools > Local Security Policy. The Group Policy dialog appears. 
2. Under the "Local Policies" heading, select "Security Options" and look for the entry, "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing." 
3. If entry this is enabled, disable it.

Also, open the registry editor and browse to the following path.  Make sure this registry subkey is set to 1:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\fipsalgorithmpolicy

ASP.NET 2.0 uses the RijndaelManaged implementation of the AES algorithm when it processes view state data. The ReindaelManaged implementation has not been certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). Therefore, the AES algorithm is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
