VerifyData on RSACryptoServiceProvider generates security event

We're using the RSACryptoServiceProvider in the .Net Framework 2.0 to verify
a signature of a file in our application. The process doing verification is
running as a local user account not known to the domain controller.

Our problem now is, that each time VerifyData is called 2 log entries are
generated in the security logs of the domain controller stating that my user
that runs the process can not be authenticated at the domain controller. Of
course it can't, because the user is not known there.

My question now is, does anybody know why the system tries to authenticate
itself with the domain controller during the call to VerifyData on the
RSACryptoServiceProvider? And what can be done to prevent that?

Thanks in advance
Urs
