The CryptGetUserKey function retrieves a handle of one of a user's two ''public/private key pairs''. This function is used only by the owner of the public/private key pairs and only when the handle of a ''cryptographic service provider'' (CSP) and its associated ''key container'' is available. If the CSP handle is not available and the user's certificate is, use Crypt32.CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey.

The CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey function obtains the ''private key'' for a certificate. This function is used to obtain access to a user's private key when the user's certificate is available, but the handle of the user's key container is not available. This function can only be used by the owner of a private key and not by any other user. If a CSP handle and the key container containing a user's private key are available, the CryptGetUserKey function should be used instead.
