I am still trying to find the solution this problem. I have it too, but with signing an xml. Still to find the user IIS is running in WinXP Start > Right-Click My Computer > Manage > Services And Applications > Services > IIS Admin > Double click and in the Log on tab it will usually say Local System.

OK, this is how I solved my problem. I had a ceritificate that I used this article to make the cert. If the project is a ASPWebSite that is saved to your C Folder you may not have issues with this. But if its saved to IIS as an HTTP project then you will have issues.

The way to solve it after weeks of investigationg is not that hard. Microsoft has something called the Web Services Enhancements you will download the lastest but I am using the second one with the lastest service pack. When I installed I enabled everything.

Certificates can be in a physical file but they are usually in the Certificate Management Store to get to it use the tool X509 Certificate tool in WSE 2.0. Here open your certificate by looking for it in the diferent sections until you find it. Then open it and at the bottom there will be a View Private Key, in the security tab add LOCALHOST\ASPNET . And this should enable your website to read the certificate.

In short what happens is that when you create the public and private keys, althought you may see the private key just fine, it really its send to Timbuktu in the file system and you need to find it to add the ASPNET account for read access. I am reading than in Vista this is much easier but I am using XP.
