Hello All,
Recently I discovered a problem in my web application which runs in the server. It throws System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException -> Padding is invalid and cannot be removed. However, from the clients I didn't get any complaints about this issue. It can only be discovered when you look through server logs.  Currently I am getting this error more than 20 each day which is a little bit annoying even if this error does not have side-effects with the application. After all, the interesting part is this error only comes when the client is googlebot(at)googlebot.com.
Has anyone got the same problem and know how to solve it? Below I post the details about one of the logs. Thanks.
